Says he is running a Wilwood SL6 Caliper and a C5 rotor under that 17 inch wheel. I want to know how he did it.

I contacted the last owner, he bought the car the way it is.

I'd call up Wilwood's tech line and see if they can advise you. Even if the bracket isn't supposed to fit a C6 rotor, you can shim outward with hardened washers. I've been running the brackets on my 3rd gen like that for 8 years.

After typing that, I'd measure the Wilwood hat/ring setup you're running now vs. a C6 rotor (still have old ones?). If the offset is smaller on the Wilwood hat style, all you need is some hardened washers behind the caliper bracket and longer bolts. If you need something to measure with, you can buy a 6" digital caliper from Harbor Freight or other importers for <$20 with a coupon. It doesn't have to be perfect. I'd try to get it within .010", but OEM tolerance is probably higher.
