Default Shelby wheels brake upgrade

Need definitive answers from folks on what the options are for front brake upgrades with Shelby wheels. The two options I'm aware of are:
  • C5 brakes: Will have to move center of wheel to outside and use spacer. Inexpensive option for brakes (I actually already have full C5 setup except caliper mounts), but if I'm going to have the wheels taken apart, I'm going to get them refinished at the same time. For those that have done this, does anyone have pics? Very interested to see how the wheels fit in relation to fenders. Also, what size spacers are needed? Alternately, has anyone thought of grinding down the calipers to clear (not sure if it's even an option based on how much would need to be removed)?
  • Wilwood Superlite kit: I've heard that this will fit, but I also saw someone on Facebook say they had clearance issues with Shelby wheels. It appears there are two different versions of this kit: a 12.88" rotor setup and a 14" rotor setup. Can someone confirm if either of these will clear the Shelby wheels "as is" (center face mounted inward (behind bolt lip))?
