Default Ls front brake issue

I just picked up a complete ls front brake swap for my 94 z28,here is the problem.I have Weld pro stars up front and I am having clearance problems..front rims are 15x4...Is there a solution to this problem besides grinding the calipers or maybe different rims up front?Please any help is appreciated.

Run hub centric spacers, and extended studs, or use wilwood drag brakes if it's a drag only car.

One more time,bump....I did find a write up on someone that was able to run the Weld Pro Stars and ls stock brakes with only using the 5/16 spacer..Why is it that I tried and the calipers are rubbing?
