15” wheel conversion
Was hoping somebody could clear the air on a question. I was looking at the Carlyle racing 15” rear whee conversion a while back and from my understanding the kit comes with smaller spindles, calipers and rotors. After reading a little more yesterday, a lot of people run the c6 base model rear rotors and calipers and it works just fine?
question is I have a 2006 base model c6, so would I be able to buy JUST the spindles and still use my factory brakes to run a 15” wheel?

what setup are you currently running? Looking into going nitrous soon and would like a bias ply tire for the track (I’m a 6 speed). From my understanding, m&h only makes a 26” tall bias ply in 16” wheel or smaller and when I ran a 295/45/17 I ended up cracking my rear fender 😭
side note: I also love the big tire, small wheel look 😅
