Default Skinnies on 98 Camaro

I am looking to put some skinnies on my 98 Camaro. I have stock brakes on on the front. I have seen people on here with the CenterLine convo pros they look sweet. They only come in 15 inch tall. Do you have to make any modifications to the brakes to fit these wheels on the front. I am not worried about the back because I am back halfing the car and running different brakes and rear end. I would like to keep the stock style brakes on the front and want to run some skinnies. Any help would be great.

No, just run a 5/16" spacer and long wheel studs

Great Thanks for the info. One more question, where you running the 15X3.5 or 15X4 front wheels? Im thinking the 15X4 because on Centerlines website they have 15X3 spindle mount only. Also do you know if the back spacing was 1-3/4 or 2-5/16. Im thinking 1-3/4 to keep it away from the brakes.

Thanks for all the help. I feel better now everyone was telling me I was going to have to buy after market brakes to run the skinnies on the front of the Camaro but I thought I seen people run skinnies on the 98-02 Camaros. Thanks a lot, very helpful.
