Z06 brakes on base model
I'm looking for some help. I have a 2008 base with Z51 pack I want to fit Z06 brakes or possibly a Wilwood set up. I have aftermarket Cray wheels with 18x9.5 and a 56 offset up front and 19x11 with 76 offset on the rear, will the Z06 brakes fit with my wheel set up ?
Thanks Anthony.

Short answer: No.
Question: Which Cray wheels?
Long answer: In order to fit those giant Z06 calipers you need less offset. My guess is the caliper sticks out too far and the spokes of the wheels will prevent the wheel from being bolted on the studs properly.
However, you may be able to put a Wilwood kit on there. Wilwood calipers are usually much more narrow in design than Brembos. You will want to contact a vendor and they will probably ask you to take a bunch of measurements to make sure they fit.

Thanks for the referral.
I confess I don't know what a Cray Mako wheel is however. *I'll openly admit I'm no Corvette expert here.
To see what is required for for clearance you'll need to compare your wheel shape and spoke clearance to that of the pdf with each kit.
You can get that pdf info off my page under the HELP ME INSTALL IT link (pdf page 3) or from the Wilwood pages directly if you know and enter the kit number you're interested in.
The primary wheel fit info relates to the clearance need between the caliper body and the back side of the spoke. That varies by both the diameter as well as the caliper used in the particular kit. Aero series calipers are much wider than the FNSL for example.
Hope that gets you started.

Thanks very much Todd I'll do some research and hopefully get some info I need to get the right set up.
