Will the 4 piston 14" Brembo Grand Turism brakes fit a stock C6 wheel?
Thanks

I believe the 6 piston 14" kit will barely fit behind the C6 Z06 wheels, I think the 4 piston is just a tad wider though and will probably not fit. I am not 100% certain on the 4 pistons just 99%.

I believe the 14" 6-piston Brembo kit needs a spacer to fit the Z06 wheels.

member "SW" had the 6 piston 14" on his Z06 without any spacer IIRC. He did say it was very close to the wheels but he was driving it around town without issue.

The thread below states a 4mm spacer is needed for the 6-piston 14" Brembos with Z06 wheels.

Kind of confusing. The thread you posted even mentioned a 3mm spacer for "stock" Z06 wheels, so I couldn't say if the 6-piston 14" fit or not. The thread I posted above seems to imply they need a spacer, and I think Mike (bowmanized) told me the same thing. A definate "maybe" is the best I can provide.

C6400hp,
The first post of that thread says they'll clear the stock Z06 wheels but that he added a 1/8" spacer for more room. I'm wondering if he actually drove around without the spacers to ensure they cleared or just bolted them up and decided he needed more clearance.
