Will that front fender clearance be adequate for steering with rear wheel installed on front?
Dyno,

C6Z not C5. The C5 is not an issue, but the C6Z calipers are huge and require a flat faced 18" wheel for clearance. IOW, the Shelby's don't work without modification as an example.

I will check this out this week as I found Stock Sawblades (91') will conflict with Front C5 Z06 Calipers using standard C5 Z06 adapters.

See Item # 14 ZR-1 (90' and 91') Wilwood Rotors and C4 to C5-Z06 Conversion

I will also check the spare wheel on the C5 Z06 brake conversion (Front). I assume 90' and 91' spare wheels are identical?

I'll check the spare clearance on the rear Z06 calipers and report back.
