C6 Caliper Questions

I'm ready to pull the trigger on a Z51 brake setup but I have a question about the C6 Caliper. The C5 Z06 caliper on the Z51 rotor measures 7.75" from center of hub to outer rib. I would like to run the C6 caliper but I only have a little over 8" from center of hub to the rim and I noticed the C6 caliper has a little different reinforcement rib design. Does anybody have the measurement of the Z51 rotor with C6 caliper.

Re: C6 Caliper Questions

The C5 and C6 calipers should be close enough to not make a big difference but here's a template for you, this should do it:
