I'm looking at this kit, but was wondering if anyone had used this vette brake upgrade with american racing torq thrust m's.

I know they have templates to use, but I haven't ordered my wheels yet. I've contact american racing, but no response. thx

Would help us if you tell us what size you gonna run..

17" wheels or higher has to be run with this kit

17s are a minimum with C5s, but there is also an issue with spoke clearance, as the calipers stick out farther than the wheel mounting surface... I had to run 1/2" spacers with my Billet Specialties 17s, and they're still close to the spokes.

So would you suggest going with an 18" wheel and spacer then Where is a good place to get a spacer? And what length wheel studs are you using? thx

I ran Vintage Wheel Works V40s, and I only had to use 5/32" spacer... as Derek mentioned, the spokes were close to the caliper. Mine "might" have cleared without the spacer, but VERY close, and I didn't want to scratch the calipers just checking clearances...

Mine actually was a small lip in the center section (2 piece wheel), and not really the spokes themselves...


Anyway, I guess it really doesn't help you with your wheel of choice...


I used the Kore3 setup on my '66 convertible, and IMO, an excellent product with excellent customer service at a nice price...

The pic of your car is that the wheels you are referring to? they look good. What size wheels and tires did you use? thx for the info.
