Default Fitment with Vette Brakes???

I have a 01 Transam, currently i have 17" vette wheels n the front with the vette front brakes and i'm wanting to get some drag wheels for it, my question is will skinnies work on front with the vette brakes cause they are bigger! I don't figure they will clear, maybe someone can help me out...

do you have relocation brackets or just the calipers?
the calipers themselves are no bigger than
stock fbody calipers.

Most drag wheels don't clear LS1 brakes anyway, only a few do. If I had ZO6 brakes or something I would run a spacer, no grinding of those calipers for me!
