I am interested in this thread as I am thinking about adding Z51 calipers/rotors on just the front of my base C7. I have after market wheels in 18/19 and have wondered about the Z51 caliper fitment or clearance on my front Motegi 18" wheels. I had also consider the Cray and TSW wheels in 18/19.
I hope I am not hijacking this thread....
I checked the base caliper to inner barrel clearance on my 18" Motegi wheels and I measure 0.87 clearance. The rear 19" wheel has even more clearance. The valve stems appear to be in what I call normal locations. So, at first check, it appears that the Z51 calipers should be no more than 1/2" further out with the 1" large dia Z51 rotors. The wheel spoke-to-caliper clearance gets greater as the caliper is located further outward.
I have never seen Cray wheels in person and was confused by the described interference of the valve stems with the calipers. After looking at the Cray wheels on the website I see that the location of the valve stem seems further inside the wheel barrel. Is that true? And is that causing the interference problem?
