Considering new wheels for new brakes - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

GTOger · 01-22-2011

I've been reading quite a bit about brake upgrades on the ZR-1, since that is the one thing that I've found a bit disappointing so far. I'd like baby to stop as fast as she goes.

As I understand it, most of the brake upgrades will have clearance problems with the stock 90 ZR-1 wheels. I understand a move to C5 Z06 type wheels will cure the issue.

I know this makes me "wheely stupid" but my question is what sizes should I be looking for? Or does it matter? What do I need to be searching for in new wheels? I figure the only thing dumber than asking a dumb question would be to buy the wrong thing and have it not fit. I have been figuring on buying somebody's C5 take-offs. I just don't know what to look for.
