No problem. I wouldn't want to go any thicker or the rims would start to stick out past the fenders a little more than I would like on my formula at least. Here are some pictures with the spacers on all 4 corners: https://ls1tech.com/forums/suspensio...l#post19926881

Here's a good link I found which has some specs that many have been interested in knowing:

Lots of options. There actual better brakes, like with 4 piston calipers that fit under 17" wheels. I have a 12.8" kit with 4 piston calipers, stainless lines, and rotors for $999. It fits C5Z wheels by a mile. I do need some spacer on '98 ZR1 style SS wheels, but the later 10 spokes would need less (maybe none, haven't actually tried that wheel).
We can also do a nice set of rotors and pads, maybe SS lines too. Trouble is in the end, the 2 piston caliper is a design that twists (not open so much as on the vertical axis), which is where the angled pad wear comes from. And that funny angle shows you that you are not maximizing the brakes. And all 2 piston stuff does it, LS1, C5 doesn't matter.

3rd and 4th options down (different rotors in the kits as listed). And we have other options beyond that. I can swap in other brake pads too. I can add fluids of all different brands and levels of performance on top of that.
