Youll have no issue clearing that setup. However, whats your goal? Strange has a setup for about half that price, with what looks to be identical calipers but lighter rotors. I just installed a set on my car. Heres some info:

thanks man...my goal on brakes is getting something a little bigger but much better than stock and be happy with what I put on the car. I want it to function great but also look good as well. Now I just need to see if the wilwoods will fit up front. the company im buying the rear from stated they would give me a better price on the brakes so thats helping as well

You might want to do some research.
Too much rear brake on these cars will cause axle hop under heavy braking. The road race guys usually run a stock like brake pad with good blank rotors in the rear, and a good blank front rotor with aggressive pads (upgraded calipers in the front to prevent spread the stock ones can have).

By goals I meant do you wanna daily drive, road course, or drag race the car? The wilwood setup looks like a nice compromise. My strange setup could be dailied with care, definitely weekend duty, but there is no denying its a drag race setup. On the front, you cannot go to a spindle bearing, you must keep the stock wheel hub to run stock wheels. My thread above shows why just go back a page or two.

Those will certainly look cool, but they are waaaay overkill for road race and may even lead to lock up or wheel hop problems on the track. I personally wouldn't bother with anything larger than 4th gen LS1 stock rears. "Much better than stock" can easily be accomplished with pads and calipers only, but you'll likely only need pads for back. Fronts are where you need to focus *if* performance is the primary goal.

Now, if you're going for looks and want rotors that fill up the wheels, then yeah, by all means look at getting the bigger nicer looking brakes. I'd do some research first though, before picking something. If you look at my thread, you'll see what a 330mm slotted rotor looks like inside a 17" SS Wheel (C6 Z51 front brakes)

Thanks guys for all the info. I'll continue to research and eventually go in some direction
