Which 12 inch upgrade? If you're talking about using the B-body spindles with the 1LE Camaro rotors, the B-body cars with those brakes came with 15" wheels (such as the one sitting in my driveway with OEM steel rims). Naturally, it depends on the wheel. For example, I have an old set of 15" aluminum slot mags that I was going to put on the B-body and they just barely rub on the calipers (a little filing will fix this). I also have a set of 15" aluminum GM rims that clear just fine.

I was refering to the b-body/1LE upgrade. I planned on using a set of American Racings 400 or Torque Thrust II wheels like 15 x 8 up front with 15x 10 in the back. This upgrade will hopefully be on a 442 soon as I get the damn thing in my driveway. hehe. Thanks 8)
