Default Torq Thrust II Wheels on C5 Brake

I bought my 2002 Camaro with C5 Corvette brake installed
Now After purchasing a Torq Thrust II Wheels, I found that I can install only the rear ones without problem.
The front wheels do not have clearance and will hit the brake caliper
Some people told me to use spacer in front but I don’t know is it OK to use them or not.
And if I want to clear the space without spacer what shall I do? Shall I change only the brackets because it seems that the C5 brackets that move the caliper out from the center of the rotor. Or shall I change the brackets, caliper, and rotor

Please advise

If you dont want the C5 brake kit on the front change it back to stock setup.
If you want to keep your TTII's and the brakes get a good set of billet hub centric wheel spacers that fit like a glove.

I have TTII's and the C5 kit, spacers coming in the mail.....

I had this problem too. I ordered hub-centric pfadt wheel spacers and upgraded arp wheel studs for the fronts. I believe this introduced a good bit of vibration, at higher speeds, from the front of the car and I'd warn you about doing this. What I'm doing, instead, is replacing my TT2's with Torq Thrust M's as I hear they do not have clearance problems with the c5 brake upgrade.
