So thought I would break this into a new thread, but it is really part of my build log.
I am in the process of converting my Gen 1 rear and front upright over to C7 hubs, sing the very good information on the SLC hubs race worthy thread. While looking for C7 hubs, I found a a very good deal on a set of C7 carbon ceramic rotors and calipers, and I just went for it.
So, I have read that you must use 20 inch rims on the front to be able to fit over the rotors and calipers. This just seems odd, because if I use OEM Z06 rims, shouldn't they clear the brakes?
I was looking at these rims, if I wanted something stock looking https://www.corvettegarage.com/c7-corvette-wheels/gm/c7-z06-corvette-wheels/
20x12 rear, 19x10 front. Offset rear is +59 rear, +43 front. Rims and tires should fit similar to forgestars for the SLC.
Or maybe these if I go full custom. https://www.vicrez.com/brixton-jo01-forged-wheel-vzn100535 these rims can be built to almost any specification.
Then I found this thread, that there are 18 inch forgestars that clear the carbon ceramics....https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums/c7-z06-discussion/4264675-18-rims-that-clear-carbon-ceramics.html
It's confusing to say the least.
So my question is what is the stock SLC offset front and back. Because as I make the hub adaptors for the uprights, I am pretty sure I can change the stock offset at least .6" either direction. Keep in mind I am having custom axles made so no need to worry about existing parts working. Ideally, I would want the car to be able to accept C7 Z06 rims, and there are an endless number of variants for this setup.
Thanks.
Bob
