C6 ZO6 brakes
Kind of thinking on doing this upgrade. My question is how much more clearance is needed in reference to the back of the wheels. I have aftermarket IConZ 19" on all four corners. 2" lip in front and 3" in rear. The center section from the hub to the rim curves inward. Regarding the raised rib in the stock caliper casting, I can put my pinkie between the rib and back of wheel. About 3/16" between rib and back of rear wheel. Any hope of doing this without spacers? Have 275/30's on the front and 305/30's on rear. The wheel offset puts the outside of the tire right at the edge of the fender lip, no protrusion past the fender.
Thanks for any info.

You're probably going to be best off calling your wheel manufacturer and asking if they will clear those brakes. I have been hunting for a multi piece, fat lipped wheel that will clear and have not had much luck. My guess is that with your lip and spoke design they will not clear the front caliper.

I can lock up hot slicks with the stock brakes, put a good pads and rotors on the car is all you need.
