Default c5 z06 brakes and torque thrust 17 by 9 M wheels clearance??

I thought read that these cleared no problem and the torque thrust 2 required spacers. So got these bolted on my car.It seems that am getting some noise and not 100% sure but it might be caliper to front wheel contact.
Did anyone else have any problem with TTM 17 by 9 and the c5 z06 swap?
I used umi bracket adapter,corvette caliper brackets for my conversion.
Simple enough just had to cut lower ear off stock spindle or hub.

So do they make a spacer that will give more clearance and will it affect anything much ,wheel bearing life,etc???

Or do I just have to grind down corner of caliper with dremel or something.

Issues I've seen with the TTM's was the stick on wheel weights contacting the caliper . . .

Hmm maybe could be that. And wonder if need some clearance what minimum wheel spacers would be? Do some closer checking.

If spacers are needed/wanted . . . I'd say the thinnest available would be best, like 5 mm
