Default Weld Draglite Skinnies with Corvette brakes

One of the upgrades that is next on my books (fall/winter projects ) is Lou G's Z06 Corvette front brake upgrade. My front rotors are shot (again) and I definitely could use some more braking power for autocross/road racing. I haven't road raced yet simply because my brakes are pretty shot.

However, I also like to drag race every so often and go for some fast times . I currently have a set of 15" Weld Draglites with skinnies on them that I'm running with spacers (7/16" I believe, whatever size makes them fit on the stock front).

Would these still work on the Corvette brakes, or would the wheels no longer work?

Just by looking at both next to eachother, it appears that you will not have any issues with the Corvette calipers and the Draglites. The calipers are very similar, except for the top of them where the vette ones have longer reinforcing ribs. The back ones would still have to be ground however, so you might just keep the f-body brakes back there and grind them smooth and paint them red.

So they should fit even with the 13" Vette rotors?
I actually only have front skinnies, I never wanted to grind calipers so I keep drag radials on chrome TA rims.
