Fikse FM/5 wheel owners jump in

[Sgreg]

Is anyone out there running Fikse FM/5 front wheels on their C-4/ZR-1 with a big brake caliper like a Brembo or a Wilwood ?
If you are, could you please tell me what offset and backspace the wheels are and the depth of the outer or front rim half ? Thanks.

Greg,

I don't have a big brake package, but I do have the C5 / C6 brake upgrade.... I used 1/8in spacers to make it fit.

Kevin has 18in fiske's and C6 Z06 brakes (not the 17 stock Z size)

Hope you keep the fiske's and find some fronts that will work

good luck

David

Thanks, David. I love the Fikses but I also love my Brembos. If Fikse were still in business, I could have them perform surgery on my parts and have custom fronts made. Unfortunately, they are not around. I wonder if any other manufacturer could do it for me ? Wheels are an ego business so I doubt another company would.

I do but they are 18's. If you had 18's I would have bought yours.

Do the 18's just have more clearance than the 17's ? Do you know your offset by any chance ?

My guess is Fikse will get back in business.... Be patient for a month or so.

Hope you get some fronts that will work
