Brett,

What Big Brakes do you have?

BTW - I've always loved yes loved the Turq's... There's one in Tucson that use to come up to the Vegas events and I have always drooled over that car... Don't know why but I do...

Ron, I had new C5 Z06 calipers installed on the front. They look really good with the Dymags.

I was really unsure about the Turquoise when I got it. The car was just too good of a deal to pass up. The mods sold me on the car...and it's a really solid 55k mile car.

NOW......I really like the color and enjoy having something different.

I know what you mean... You could write about the same exact thing on my Hawaii car:

"I was really unsure about the Snake Skinner Body Kit when I got it. The car was just too good of a deal to pass up. The mods sold me on the car...and it's a really solid 40k mile car.

NOW......I really like the body kit and enjoy having something different"

That Morrison kit makes the car. That's a super ride, my friend.

Will this GTO spare also clear C6 ZO6 calipers?
Need a spacer?
And what specific GTO spare? ie year?
TIA

Not sure about the C6 application but I'm sure someone here will know.

GTO 2004 and newer.

There was a guy on CF that ran them as skinnies for the drag strip over Z06 calipers. He had this outrageous 3" spacer.

so basically...no.

Thanks Mike.
I wonder if there is any kind of spare you can use
other than another 18" Fiske ($$, and also woundn't
fit in the spare tire tray)?

I kind of think maybe an 18" CTS spare with a more modest spacer might fit. I want one for my '08 coupe with the z51- those rotors are about 1/4 bigger than C5 rotors and the GTO spare won't do it without a spacer.

I want a spacerless spare for trips across the desert. I'm afraid to take my C6 out of town.
