Angry C6's Vs. Wilwood Calipers

Well after about 2 hours of cutting, and hammering in the rear to get the 19s to fit I found out that the front 18x8.5 wheels will not fit over my Wilwood calipers! Unless anybody has any suggestions there may be a brand new set of C6 wheels and tires for sale very soon.

Did you just buy the calipers? If you had them before the wheels I wish you would have asked, I coulda told you they wouldn't clear bigger brakes

How much to they need to clear you might be able to get away with spacers?

I only need about 3mm to clear the calipers. The spacers idea crossed my mind, but I was trying to stay away from them.

I'd use spacers, 3mm isn't much. You could get thin spacers machined or get a set from a store and grind them thinner maybe?
