CTS-V brake upgrade: 60-0 video page 3

And this is what it will look like complete

Nice. Looks great and fills out the wheel nicely. if someone figures out something good for the rear I may have to step up myself.

[sethjamesrimrodt]

I ordered a few different second gen CTS-V parts that I am going to play around with. You will need 18 inch wheels with some crazy offset.

[yourgrandma]

My wheels have enormous brake clearance. The spokes are curved outward.

New sig quote!!

Well they don't fit over GXP rims.. They need 5/8" spacers and 1/2" longer wheel studs.

[sethjamesrimrodt]

This is the wheel spacer I am having made for me.





I used cheap wheel spacers from Advanced Auto Parts for mock up. I do not feel comfortable driving with those on though.

Keep us updated with results as you go along.It'll be awesome once it's all together.

I hate to ask, but what are the hubs/bearings going to have to say about the wheels being on spacers?

Don't hate to ask. That's a great question.

[sethjamesrimrodt]

Time will only tell.. It is 5/8". I am not too worried about it. What is the difference between a well designed wheel spacer and a wheel with the proper offset? I want different rims anyways, but the budget won't allow for that right now.

Edit: When I say proper offset, I mean the proper offset to fit over CTS-V brakes.

Probably not much if they're Timken

Looks great Seth. I'd leave the V// on it just for trolling effect.

[Roadtech195]

I have never seen that upgade done. Looks fantastic and I cant wait to see the final outcome.
Gives me an idea for the GP

I will leave the V if I can get back calipers to match

Then you get to buy new winter wheels and/or tires, again...

Shut up shut up shut up

Actually the future I see for the bonneville is becoming a winter beater when I eventually get something else. (As an aside to that, Im looking at minivan rear subframes, hint hint).

AWD?

[yourgrandma]

AWD?

You know it. I think that would require a turbo though.

[sethjamesrimrodt]

Finally a turbo bonneville that's not a se...
