C5 brake upgrade on my 91Z?

[96LT4]

I have all the parts to do it, but am worried about the nw calipers clearing my Fikse wheels. The Fikse FM5s are the stock size and offset.

Has anybody done an upgrade successfully with these wheels?

[ZZZZZR1]

Yes on those.

Do you have Fiske FM5's? (I think I remember seeing those on your car) If so, yes. I know of 2 Z brothers with them....


You have those on 3 cars now, yes? 2 LT4's and 1 LT5

Very nice!!!!

Yep, 3 cars now.

So, you're saying that they will work with the FM5s, correct?

Changes coming or made to the cars since that picture though:

Fikse Fm5s for the Z and the red car
5 spokes from the red car went to the yellow car
Trying to talk my wife into letting me buy a set of Fikse Mach Vs blacked out for ole yeller
Euro taillamps for the Z
Corsa exhaust for the Z
Brake upgrade for the Z
Port and polish the plenum, air horn, injector housings
Powder coating the LT5

Then, I think I'm done...

Brandt, get together with Shawn and do a physical check first.

Jeff, we did it last night, and the calipers DO hit the mounting bolts on the back of the wheels...he and I feel we need a 1/4" spacer.

Does that help?

Hey George! Mod fever is fun, and makes the car more fun.

Miss seeing you around my friend.
