I have Z51 Vette brakes on my 66 with 18" coys. I would like to know if 17" american racing steel wheels would fit over these brakes. Anyone know?

IMHE No!

I have 18x8 Torque Thrust IIs and they touch!
I have to run 1/8th spacers to make the Joe distance clear.

I have not tried those brakes on an Abody but the Z51 Vettes came with 16 and 17 inch wheels depending on the year. Dont know if that helps.

The new C6 Z51 package uses 13.4" rotors... I highly doubt if any wheel smaller than 18" will fit.

the new modern z51 brakes definatly do not come with 16s.
Heck I don't know the last time I tuned a c4/c5/c6 with 16's.
