Default Inexpensive wheels to clear 4 piston 14" Brembo front brakes

Anyone know? i need to find some inexpensive street wheels that will clear Brembo 4 piston fronts with the 14" rotor on the front of a C6.
Or if anyone knows how big of spacer is required to clear 4 piston 14" with the stock C6 front wheels?

Anybody have a set that will clear the Brembos that are for sale or trade for stock plus $.
I have 2 sets of stock wheels (1 set comp grey, 1 set silver) and tires to sell unless the Brembos will fit with a minimal spacer.

When I swiched from stock brakes to brembos, I used 0.5 inch spacer. But I have a CCW wheels.

I have a set of CCW Corsairs I use at the track and they will clear without the use of a spacer but I am looking for an inexpensive street setup. Which CCW are you using?

Not necessarily true. Mine rubbed a bit (a TINY bit) until I got the T1 suspension, now they do not.

C5 speedline 18X10.5? On the FRONT of a C6?
I put some on the back of my C6 and they stuck out like Dumbos ears.

LOL well they do stick out some, I run the C5 Z06 rears all they way around. Oddly, after the T1 susp they rub a tad in the rear where they hadn't before. But again it's just barely...

I like them.
Car seems more stable and consistent under hard braking.

I like both especially the Mallets. DO they make the SSR's in C6 offsets? Are either of these wheels inexpensive?

I'd like to know what sizes those Mallets are and if they still make them.
