Default C4/C5 front rotor offset

Do the C4 and C5 front rotors have a similar offset. I know the 13" C4 rotor is 1.1" thick and the C5 12.9 is 1.25" thick. But, is the centerline the same or ?

No, it depends on the manufacturer. In my 96 CE LT4 I had to take the caliper brackets to the machine shop and shave 1.2 mm off. My 95 the kit bolted on with no problems. Others never had that problem.

They are not even close. Here's a pic of a 12" C4 rotor (89-94) compared to a 13" C5.

Thanks guys. The big problem I am having doesn't seem to be the offset but the width of the rotors. My Wilwoods won't clear a 1.25 rotor anyway. Thanks for replies and pictures.
