You're really limited with the stock wheels. I'm not aware of any true big brakes that'll fit. IMO at the least you'll need new wheels. You can get wheels that will accommodate big brakes and allow you to run Z06 size tires on a stock body C6, however, not all wheels that'll accommodate Z06 tires on a stock body C6 will work with big brakes. You're really limited for space in the rear. For the greatest versatility, I recommend you go to the Z06 rear quarter panels and buy 9.5" or 10" front wheels and 12" wide rear wheels. I like CCW wheels but whichever wheel you go-with confirm with the vendor or manufacturer in advance that the specific wheels you want will work with big brakes. Good luck!

Wilwoods will fit with a spacer however you will need to put a stack of washers on each stud to find out exactly how thick the spacer needs to be and possibly install longer studs
