You need wheel adapters. Call vettebrakes and they should be able to tell you what part numbers you need. Be prepared that they are expensive.

I doing the same thing except slightly more diffrent, i recently got 3 piece 17 by 11 rims that have 8 inches back spacing, im hoping with vbps 3 inch adapters theyll fit since we already cut off the emergency brake bracket. If not you can always find a local machine shop that will be able to fab something up for you, we found one but itll be just a bit more expensive. Hope this helps you out.

No problem, always glad to help out a forum member
Just make sure to measure everything out so that you know they will fit right, itd be a shame if you get the adapters and they turn out to be too small.
