Default Vms wheels

I purchased 15x10 7.5bs VMS 5 spoke wheels for my 01. I ground the brake rotors years ago to fit pro stars, but the vms wheels don’t fit what so ever. Has anyone gotten these to fit. What are my other options? Lt1 brakes or full aftermarket?

I went with LT1 brakes. I had to remove the emergency brake on them due to the pivot arm hitting the wheel.

update to this, you also have to grind down those fins on the lt1 brakes. Huge pain in the ***.

Do the wheels sit flush when mounted? Would 1/4” spacer look weird you think to bring the wheel from 7.5” bs to 7.25” bs. Also would that allow the parking brake to still be used?

I tried a spacer, still would have to grind the brakes.

Yeah my current calipers are grounded down and will fit a 15” race star wheel. I’m just wondering if it’s the same as stated above and would still need either lt1 brakes ground down or just do aftermarket.
