My wheels are 15" (the car is in fact a Z 2/8 model) and I have always been told the calipers are the same as the Corvette ones - I actually got a rebuild kit for a Corvette model when I rebuilt them that worked well!
They are not the same calipers that Chevelles and GM cars had that came with 14" wheels for sure and are 4 piston versions and quite large in size obviously..
None of the TT wheels I have tried so far will clear the spokes and I didn't want to use spacers so I never have found any that worked.. and guess I never will!
Guess the low numbers of Corvettes with these same calipers and especially the even lower numbers of '67 & '68 Z 2/8's that are out there certainly doesn't warrant trying to manufacture a version of wheel which has so few possibilities of sales to that limited market..
As for the few early sets that might come up for sale that do fit these applications - I can't justify spending that kind of money.. so I will stick with my 15" rallys - but the look with the TT's really does hit me hard!

Thanks - Randy
