18" wheels for sure. Good C5 fitment info here: https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...upgrade-2.html

This is the setup I have. Clears 18’s but not C5Z 17”. I haven’t tracked it yet but will starting 4/6... this posting looks like it has the 1-piece rotors. Ok for track days but a 2-piece setup will improve fade resistance if the buyer upgrades later. Great setup though!

Do either the front Aero6 and/or the rear FNSL calipers have the Thermlock piston upgrade? By the paperwork, the rear is for the 13.0" rotor. The front will work with either the 13.4' or 14" rotor - which setup did you have on your car? If it was with the 13.4" rotor, do you also have the spacers that also allow the kit to work with the 14.0" rotor? What pad compound come with these calipers - dual sport/purpose BP-20 or something different?
BTW, why are you selling this BBK? Where are you located in Ohio?

I made a mistake on my listing. The fronts, according to my invoice from Todd @ TCE Performance are W6A, not Aerolite 6R. I bought these for the street, so I don't have an answer to the thermolock question. I have Z06 size rotors on my vette. BP 20 is the pad front and rear.
I am changing brakes out of pure vanity. I ordered new Forgestar F14's for my rear wide body conversion and they came in a darker gray than I anticipated. I'm going to a light silver caliper so I can see them behind my new wheels. Any more questions feel free to ask. location is Findlay, Oh.

Former Vendor
The kits shown are the early version of the C5/6 Caliper kits using the top loading W6A calipers up front and the FNSL4 rears. I doubt they have thermlock pistons but would only know with an image showing the inside portion of the caliper.
The front fits the 13.4 and 14" stock rotor. The rear fits the 13" stock rotor.
Good luck with the sale. If I can help ID anything for you please ask.

Though it's kind of trivial, those caliper kits fit a C6 Z51 application, not Z06. But, since I'm installing C6 Z51-spec rotors on my car, those calipers would work prefect.
If my CCW's sell, I might be a player for these.

It's not trivial. Todd @TCE did the Z06 upgrade to my bracket(s). My DBA rotor size is: 355mm rear and 380mm front......Z06. Remove some spacers...Z51.
