BBS RS-GT Wheels.
Does anyone know if you can add big brakes (Brembo or StopTec) with BBS RS-GT. I called the TireRack, but the guy I talked to was clueless.
18 x 9 front Offset: 54mm Backspacing: 7.16" Bolt Pattern: 5-475
19 x 10.5: Offset: 75mm Backspacing: 8.74" Bolt Pattern: 5-475
Thanks!

You need to specifically state which Brembos or Stoptechs you're trying to fit. 14's, 15's? 4-Pots, 6-Pots? Fronts only? Front and rear? You'll always get more information if you post more information.

I don't believe those wheels will clear Z06 calipers, let alone the calipers you have in mind. You realize you have to do some grinding to fit the Stoptechs, right? I'm leaning towards the Brembos.

Unfortunately that particular wheel is not an option with any of the available Brembo kits.
I thought that the 14" 4-piston kit would be close, but after a phone call to BBS, they confirmed that it would NOT fit. That particular wheel, because of the multi piece look, has a small inside barrel diameter.
There are lots of other options that will work, some even allowing for the larger 6-piston monobloc caliper.
Do you already own a set of the BBS wheels are are you still in the "looking around" phase?

THis is a really old thread.
I have been down this road and here is the answer.
The only BBK I found that will work with those wheels is the Wilwood with narrow calipers.
14" rotors work fine, but you will need an 1/8" spacer on the front.
