The wheels are basically a "knock off" of TTII's, Coys, and Foose's classic 5-spoke wheel. I really like them and I'm wondering if anyone has a set of these with LS1 brakes. I know the TTII's have problems with the LS1 brakes so I want to know before I order a set of wheels, if they will cause any problems if and when I upgrade the front brakes.

Thanks

I know the stock LS1 rotors and calipers have some issues with anything smaller than a 16'' wheel. Anyone that has an F-body and 15'' welds up front have to grind the Hell out of the calipers to make them fit right without rubbing.

Yeah I've heard the same. Also heard that TTII's in a 16" wheel won't clear either. I guess really I should of just searched on LS1 tech lol

As long as you don't mind grind on the calipers some, you should be able to get 16''s to fit. The cars came factory with 16''s, so aftermarket wheels should be pretty close. The only kind of LSx style calipers that won't take anything smaller than a 17'' or bigger is C5/C6 corvette breaks I believe.
