I've got the TTII's 17x9.5's w/46mm and I'm running the Baer GT+ 13.2", which uses the same caliper as the Vette.

I think the Baer rotors might be little bigger than the Vette rotors are.

The only issure I've had with clearance is with using tape weights inside the wheel. The caliper scrubs them right back off.

How do you balance yours then? Hammer on weights on the inside lip?

As for the original question, do a search on my name for this topic in the Suspension and Brakes forum and you will find a thread with some good info in it about running this setup.

No... the caliper doesn't displace that much area in regards to the rims width. They just have to move the weights a little closer to the inside of the wheel.
