BMR DRP576 Carlyle 17in Conversion Kit Drilled Slotted Black 2014-2019 Corvette

Vehicle Fitment

• 2014-2019 Chevrolet Corvette C7 (All trims including Stingray, Z06, Grand Sport, and ZR1)

Fitment Notes

• 17-inch wheel conversion kit - this kit provides brake and spindle clearance for 17" diameter wheels at the rear of the C7 Corvette. This is a less aggressive wheel size reduction than BMR's 15" conversion kits (DRP570-DRP573), making it the appropriate choice for C7 owners who want to run 17" drag-oriented wheels rather than the narrower 15" packages used in maximum-effort drag builds.
• The factory C7 rear brake system is too large to clear some 17" wheel configurations - this kit replaces the rear spindles and brakes with hardware sized to provide clearance for 17" wheels at the rear axle.
• Includes replacement rear spindles in raw (bare metal) finish - confirm spindle fitment and any additional components required for your specific 17" wheel and tire package with BMR or Carlyle Racing before ordering.
• For the drilled/slotted red caliper 17" kit, see BMR PN DRP577. For the full 15" conversion kit (drilled/slotted, black calipers) which also includes control arms and toe rods, see BMR PN DRP572.
• Vehicle alignment is recommended after installation due to changes in rear suspension geometry from the new spindles.
• Designed primarily for drag racing applications.

Features

• Carlyle Racing 17" rear wheel conversion kit engineered for the C7 Corvette - allows owners to run 17" drag racing wheels at the rear where the factory brake and spindle geometry would otherwise prevent proper wheel clearance, while retaining a larger wheel diameter than the more aggressive 15" conversion packages.
• Replacement rear spindles in raw finish are sized and positioned to provide the correct brake-to-wheel clearance for 17" wheels - delivering the unsprung weight and tire flexibility benefits of a smaller wheel package without the more extensive rear suspension changes required by a 15" conversion.
• Drilled and slotted rotors improve heat dissipation versus solid rotors - drilling and slotting evacuates heat, gas, and debris from the rotor surface during repeated heavy brake applications, maintaining consistent brake performance under repeated use on the drag strip.
• Wilwood billet aluminum 4-piston black calipers replace the factory C7 rear caliper units - the 4-piston fixed caliper design provides more even pad loading and superior clamping force than the OE floating caliper design, and the smaller caliper dimensions are sized to clear a 17" wheel's inner barrel.
• Lightweight design reduces rear unsprung weight, contributing to improved 60-foot performance and rear traction on the drag strip.
• Designed and made in the USA.

Product Description

The BMR DRP576 is the Carlyle Racing 17-inch rear wheel conversion kit for the 2014-2019 Chevrolet Corvette C7, featuring drilled and slotted rotors with Wilwood billet aluminum 4-piston black calipers and raw-finish replacement spindles. For C7 owners building for drag racing who want to run 17" diameter wheels - larger than the 15" packages used in maximum-effort builds but still smaller than the factory OE wheel diameter - the DRP576 provides the brake and spindle clearance needed to make that wheel size work at the rear axle.

The drilled and slotted rotors and Wilwood 4-piston calipers are sized to fit within a 17" wheel's inner barrel, replacing the factory C7 rear brake hardware that would otherwise prevent proper clearance. Replacement spindles in raw finish are included to correctly position the brake components for the conversion. Vehicle alignment is recommended following installation. For red calipers on the 17" conversion, see BMR PN DRP577. For a more aggressive 15" conversion with a more comprehensive suspension package, see BMR PN DRP572 (drilled/slotted, black calipers). Made in the USA.
