all varies... generally go by the stock size for the original vehicle or bigger, meaning whatever stock size wheels come on the vette, which i think are 17s or 18s and bigger for these 13.39s there is a wheel fitment template you can use to check, i will see if I can find it

scroll down on the page, sometimes its not so much just how tall the rim is, but you gotta make sure the face clears the caliper as well

Thanks for the link Skip. I was just wondering. I have 16" IROC rims on the car, and I was wondering what size brakes I could go with if I decide to upgrade later on.

16 may work if you go with the the stock c5/c6 base model stuff... but im leaning toward 17 or bigger for this type of stuff...

i like the KORE3 brake lines, because they make the line specific to your applications, you tell Tobin what brake setup you have and what its going on, year, make, model, etc. they make the lines for you and the specific vehicle... let me know if you want me to email them and see whats up, or i can find Tobins email and pm it to you
