Ricky,

I think the one issue when using the Z06 brakes, up front in particular, is clearance for the calipers. As u know, they are massive and it's not just a matter of clearing the wheel drum. It's also a question of clearing the front face of the caliper. My hunch is that a wheel w a dished face would be problematic without pushing the tire towards the outer edge. One reason the OEM wheels look the way they do w a flat outer face.
