Has anyone used the Wilwood front brake kit 140-15175? If so, what wheels did you use. It's supposed to fit base a C6 but a friend of mine has a '07 with 5 star wheels and the spokes hit the caliper. Would need a 1/2" spacer to make it work but then there isn't enough threads on the studs to thread on the lug nuts. Thanks
1. Kit fits 97-2004 C5 all, 2005-2013 C6 Base Models w/ 12.80 diameter front rotor.
2. SLC56 caliper kits have been checked to clear Z06 model wheels. All other OE and aftermarket wheels should be checked for proper clearance. . Wheel spacers may be required on some applications.
Being larger and wider than oe sliding calipers you have an outer shell with pistons on it now that is wider than the stock part. With an overhang requirement of nearly 1.5" they are not terribly wheel friendly unless the wheel is intended to be used with big brakes.

Thanks guys. I found another thread detailing a similar issue. Looks like he's going to have to use a 3/4" wheel adapter until he can get wheels that work.
I have Wilwood 6 piston on my car with BBS Wheels and long ARP studs, I had to use a 10MM spacer. I dd i,t 10years or so ago so I don't recall the kit number.
