Yeah you’re using high offset modern wheels, possibly with a spacer. The corvette stuff is designed around this type of wheel.

I spoke with Tobin extensively about my brakes but not even his smallest c5 setup would fit inside the 17” torque thrust II’s that I was running at the time.

The TTII’s are really problematic because not only do the spikes curve inward right after the mounting pad, but there is also a step in the barrel of the wheel right where the larger caliper of the c5/c6 setup sits.

I wanted to buy his stuff for all the reasons you listed, but it just wasn’t going to work.

I ended up with a Wilwood 13” Forged Super Lite and 12.19 Forged Dynalite system on my car and I’ve been happy with it. I can’t get parts at orielly’s but I can still get parts quickly from Wilwood direct or any of their retailers like summit.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world.
