Default Fitting 15s with a spindle change?

I ran into another c5 owner and he said there is a way to fit 15s on the back of a c5 with a spindle change. Is this possible or has anyone ever heard of fitting 15s with sucess?

ECS has a spindle kit.

Really nice set-up.

We have a setup that will allow you to run a 15" drag wheel and tire combo.



These billet spindles are taken directly from our road race drop spindles, but by design allow the use of a 15" wheel for those that need a true drag tire, while retaining the OEM parking brake assembly.


All forged aluminum construction
Bolt on install, no modifications needed to your Corvette
Retains use of OEM parking brake
Retains use of GM calipers
Allows use of 15" drag wheels
C6Z51 and C6Z06 must purchase optional brake kit for clearance
Optional 1000HP axle and bearing kit.
