I am not running stock A-mold so cannot guarantee front OEM A-mold would clear. I know rear will clear because we tried A-mold after the brake conversion.

SL-6 with 13" rotors are largest for A-molds. The hats are 'thin' (appropriate) enough to keep spacing stock-like. There is an older Wilwood front kit that spaced the front track out about 1/2" per side. I have it on my 415.

I ask because I had 2 piece Brembo rotors that moved wheel out by .5".

Superlites are narrower than c6 Z06 calipers (probably narrower than Brembos also). Come to think of it, Mike Geier runs the same set up with 13" rotor with Fikse FM 5s.

I'd like to find rotors that weigh less than the Z06 rotors but don't want to mess w the offset.

Then you will need to look at what Wilwood offers for a stock replacement for the Z06..

get a 2 piece with Aluminum hubs

Rippie sells two piece C6 Z06 rotors that weigh about 9 pounds less than stock.
