Z06/Z07 caliper clearance issue
Can anyone tell me if there is a difference between the brake caliper to wheel clearance from the standard Z06 brakes compared to the Z07 option brakes?
Thank you for your help!

Yes there is reduced clearance due to the larger CCB.

Thank you. So I assume the actual rim diameter of the factory wheels is interchangeable between standard Z06 and the Z07 brake option, or are they different?

You can run an 18 inch wheel over the ceramic brakes. I run CCW Corsair Series C10 18x11 wheels on the front of my car with no issues. There was plenty of clearance between the wheel and the larger CCM caliper. I originally ran them on my 2008 C6Z. Not sure what the offset was but CCW would know what they provide for the cars.

Just be really careful if you're changing wheels so you don't bang the wheel against the rotors in risk of chipping them. Make sure to use the rotor protector pillows that GM supplies with Z07 packages and I also suggest using a set of wheel removal guides that you screw into the lug screws so that the wheels slide straight off without touching the rotors.

We can run Forgeline 18/18 with the ceramics no problem. GS1R, GA3R or Ga1R.
