Some, but maybe not all 17s will clear, just put 17x10 forgestars on mine.

Same here. 17x10 Forgestar D5 beadlocks clear the rear brakes. I’m pretty sure Welds would clear, talk to PK Auto or another knowledgeable vendor to be sure.

Most 17's should clear factory SS brakes. 15's require a conversion.

I just did a 17" drag pack. RC component 17x4.5 on the front with MT 27.5s and 17x10s on the rear with Hoosier 28x10-17s. I'll post some pics in a little bit for you

The 17"x10" Welds with the correct offset for a Camaro will not rub or hit your brake calipers. It is a close tight fit and where you put wheel weights can matter. Also, I believe on these two cars 2019 and 2020 we did move the wire harness in the driverside wheel well. Better to check.

Summit. If you get fronts too lmk what size you get. I still havent ordered matching front wheels. Closest they had for the F14 had a weird size and/or offset that i wasnt sure would work. Also wasnt sure what dia i want in front. Choices for fronts seemed limited, but they do custom so should work out eventually. Bigger fish to fry right now.

Hi guys , I'm as well interested in the Drag Pak, I see most of you have SS s , are the rear brakes the same for the ZL1 ? , So the 17x10 7.2 bs and +45mm offset , is what I want , any ZL1 guys running this? . Or what are you running if this is incorrect.

17x10 VMS wheels clear the brakes no problem and you can get a 18x 5 for the front and they are matching wheels.

Which 15" conversion package do you have? How much air pressure are you running?

I bought the BMR 15” conversion kit (components made by Wilwood). Brakes are just a tiny bit smaller and the calipers are lower profile. I was impressed with the quality of the kit (just not the hardware or instructions lol). Have not received my 15” D5 Beadlocks or tires yet so no idea on pressure yet.
