I had the HSV 330mm brakes under my VTII SS rims. Pretty sure 17 inch was the minimum so they might fit.
Got the windows tinted quite a bit darker on Thursday, really happy with how it looks and has made the cabin a few degrees cooler as well. Goes in next Thursday to see if the brakes will fit, will be rapt if they do. Fuel consumption has now dropped to a more reasonable 13l/100 around town (ave speed around 40kmh), so the tune has certainly done what Brad said it would.
Brakes are on
Will try and get better photos later, but here are a couple I snapped quickly.
Rod wow the rim to caliper clearance is absolute minimal, are you sure they're 330mm discs? Unless C5 calipers are smaller than C6? I have the latter C6's on my Crewie & a 17" won't clear the caliper.
Yes Mick, definitely 330 front and 315 rear, had to get one of the front wheels balanced again though to move the wheel weight for caliper clearance. I believe it comes down to wheel offset. Geoff at UT could not believe that they fit either as a mate of his tried to fit the same brakes to a Crewman with aftermarket 18's and they were not even close to fitting.
Rod I noticed mine have an aftermarket caliper/adapter bracket these being C6, there could be a difference, but great you have them on. You may notice as I did for the first day or so to have a spongy brake pedal but they come good after another day or so. Everytime I have mine bled does the same.
Well done Rod.
On my VEII SS, when I had the Harrops fitted, they had to use fancy low profile wheel weights to clear the calipers.
Latest ute issue, looks like the brake booster has started to shit itself. Driving back from the city yesterday started getting a fairly loud noise coming from under the dash like air being sucked in or expelled. Took it into UT this morning and they say the Booster is shot. Looking at getting one of the below for replacement, it appears that all Commodores from V6 up to and including HSV use the same booster.

Strange thing is that the brakes still feel really strong, just took it for a drive and gave the brakes a hard time and they feel really good even after repeated hard stops.
