Default Big Brake Kit users, what wheels are you using?

Not sure if there was a thread on this before. Since buying larger wheels doesn't necessarily mean it will clear larger brakes, I am curious what some wheels are that will. C6Z, Stoptech, Brembo, Willwood, whatever your setup is, let us know what will work. Any modifications etc.

I use stock C5 Z06 wheels behind my Mov'it brakes. Their custom made to fit, so no need for heavier aftermarket rims.

The LG G Stop Wilwood Kit will fit over the C5Z front wheels. LG uses a different bracket than the standard bracket that comes in the standard Wilwood kit for the C5. This allows them to use the large SL6 caliper that uses the 7420 pad style Vs the standard kit's thinner 7416 pad style. At the price it is hard to beat. I ran this kit on my C5Z for 4 years.
