The easiest way to see if you will need a spacer or adapter is to measure your stock brake setup (12" LS1 rotor and caliper) and see if you have at least 1 1/4" of spoke clearance. Once you take into consideration the new rotor offset and the new caliper thickness, the conversion will stick out 1" more than stock.

Only reason I think I have such a small initial spoke to caliper gap is because my pads are almost 100% still so the caliper is pushed out as far as it ever will be.

Can someone please shed some light on my predicament?

I had ~1 3/8" clearance with my stock caliper and was just barely rubbing when I test fitted my cts-v calipers, ended up just getting the 15mm spacers listed by others. My wheel did NOT stick out an 1" more than stock, and that's why the spacer...
Like Jason mentioned, best thing to do is to test fit with your wheel and see what you need.
