Michael, the rotor hat thickness is the same on both rotors. So the wheel depth will be the same.

when i bought my truck i couldnt believe it had 15's on it, the guy ground the **** out of the rear calipers to get them to fit. the front 99-04 brakes had space. But i since upgraded to the 05 up brakes so it would stop better

Any luck with this

No, never could find one with the correct hat height. And still having a hard time finding a machinist to cut these for me.

You ever fool with emachineshop.com. If anything it can be used to make some .dwg files to give to a machinist.

No never heard of it. I have inventor on my computer at work and used it to draw the brackets up. I'm a CAD/CAM major so I don't have any issues with solid modeling. The two guys I know who do machining can't do the parts for me as fast as I need them so I'll have to make some calls to random machine shops around me.

Might want to check it out. After drawing part and entering your info with address it will spit out a quote including shipping price to your door. Quantity brings the unit price down so a group buy would be in order.

Never used there service but feedback for quality is good. I usually just use it to make templates since it allows you to print to scale.
