everyone seems to always take the latest and greatest and adapt it to earlier vettes. I always liked the idea of it really. I'm a fan of older muscle cars and vettes which have the newerst tech in them. I bet before long we see it done somewhere.

That willwood kit is huge...I like it

tubbing wont do it. the offset isnt correct for c6 zr1 rims to be tubbed. they'll stick out past the fenders and wont take advantage of any of the extra room the tub offers. you'd need flared read fenders to use those rims. same idea as with the c6 z06 rims.

and i dont get it... your thread title is about brake mods but your question is about wheels/tires.
