Like others mentioned wheel diameter is a factor when looking at the C-5 brakes. The other factor is what is called "caliper overhang" this refers to how far the caliper protrudes from the wheel mounting surface.
We offer a bracket for the relocation kit if you haven't already purchased one.
The adapter bracket can be found HERE
I attached an image of the C5 caliper setup to give you some dimensions to work off of.
