Brembos on base C6
Hey guys I’ve done my research but the answers I find are rather conflicting. I want to put my z06 brakes on with my base 5-spoke c6 wheels. It’s only temporary so until I get different wheels. What size spacers do I need for the wheels to clear the brakes and what kind of lug nuts do I need? I read something about extended lug nuts but I’m lost there. Any help?

You didn't specify which "base 5-spoke c6 wheels" you have.
If you have the '05-'08 1/2 wheels, you need 13/16" spacers.
Here's a write up to help:

If you have the '08-'09 Gumby wheels, then 1/4" (6mm) spacers will work.

Final question(s) Chris I’m confused about this from the thread:
ARP 2.5" studs $30
1/2" hub centric spacers $30
5/16" spacers $1
So it says spacers twice but he only did it for the front wheels so what’s the deal with that? I should only need 13/16 if I’m just doing the front wheels correct? Also, would I need different lug nuts if I’m getting 2.5” studs because he didn’t say I needed to get new lug nuts. Thanks again! Oh and also 13/16 would be the equivalent to 20mm correct? The spacers I keep finding are measured by mm and finally you don’t think my wheels are will pass the fenders do you? I want them to be just inside of the fenders or even flush with the front fenders if they must but I don’t want them to stick out past the fenders
