Wow that sucks about the spacer because your rims already stick out a lot.
Thats what I thought. Thanks though.. agh now I want to go back out real quick and test fit the stocks to make sure. If I can get the stocks to fit the I might have to sell the 26's and go with a different rim.

No I had different spindles on my Tahoe. I had Mgh's and these are Beltechs. With Wilwoods I think you have to grind the top of the spindle of the bolt. With these brackets its on the inside of the spindle. . But as you can see in the pic red circle with red arrrow you grind that section for Wilwoods with these brackets you grind the area pointing in green.
I'm going to post this, but it's not going to be favorable. I had to grind the same area on my spindle. Thought that was going to be it. Then once I had the rotor on, the caliper sat off the rotor hat too far and I had to grind more. Just not something I was entirely comfortable with, but I was determined to get it to work. I did get it running but was never happy with it. Didn't feel solid. Which is why I went with wilwood on the Burban.
Seems like you are headed in the same path as I was with the grinding, although I sincerely hope that you can just grind that small amount and everything lines up.

Yeah I am hoping as well. I will see once I get the rotors. But tomorrow I am going to work more on getting the bracket to fit right and bolt it up correctly and test my rims

Well today will be the day to find out if works or not. I am going to get the bracket bolted up correctly and the caliper put on correctly and test fit my 26's and also my stocks just to know. If they don't fit I think I am going to ditch this idea. I already have some slightly used Wilwoods that I might buy that are black and I will paint Yellow. But thought about it, I rather spend just a little more and get Wilwoods then spend a lot more on getting new rims.

interested to see if they will work on the ck375s...
So if you had stock spindles and 375s this would all work perfectly?

I think my stock spindles lined up just fine. I will test and see if the stock rims fit today when bolted up. I just didn't think about it at the time when I had them on yesterday.

Did you get the new Z06 rotors or are you going to try it with the stock rotors...wonder if hat height / thickness is different b/w the two to give you different wheel offset.
