yes they fill the rims up quite nicely. i love the C7 rims so im keeping them. only bad thing now is if i get a flat in the front i have to move a good tire from the rear to the bad front one, then put on my spare in the rear. the look is awesome and worth the extra trouble if it happens <knock on wood>. i abosultely love the look though. when im driving i love looking at the relection in the sides of cars to see the big calipers.

Make sure the C32 brakes are properly bedded in so that all the gases are purged from the pad and the pad makes a full contact patch with the rotor. Once this is done, your brakes will feel even better.
