JohnnyOats Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 I have a 2018 Camaro ZL1 with HUGE front brake calipers. Does anyone know if the new small wheel woolie will fit between the barrel and caliper? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Dan@Adams Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Hi Johnny, Welcome to the forum, and great question! I haven't had a chance to check on a ZL1 yet, but I do have a friend's 6th Gen Camaro SS at my house right now and the Small Wheel Woolie does fit in between the caliper and barrel of the wheel with about a 1/4" to spare. The diameter of the wool material is 1.75" at the widest part, and it will squeeze down to about 1.5", so you could measure the gap between the ZL1 caliper and the barrel of the wheel to see if it will fit. Just from looking at pictures of the ZL1 brakes, it looks like a very tight fit, so you may have to clean one half of the barrel, then move the car forward a few feet to get the other half of the barrel clean.

0 LSX Maestro Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Unless the SS is optioned with the brake upgrade or 1LE track pack then the ZL1’s brakes are quite larger. I think the only thing you’re getting between a ZL1’s caliper and wheel is some pipe cleaner, lol.

0 Mbrazelton Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 The 5th Gen ZL1 that I own, there was no way it would get between them. I usually rolled the car back, to get the other half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, I looked at pictures and saw maybe about 1" of clearance at some spots of the caliper, but not many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
