did C6 brake upgrade, tires stick out farther?

Did the Z51 vette front brake upgrade with parts from ebmiller and yes i know that there is a rotor sandwitched between the hub and wheel but thats only a quarter inch thick or so. seems as though my wheels stick out about an inch farther than they used to with the stock brake setup. is there some kind of difference in the hub or something that would cause this? I can easily offset it since i'm running 4th gen wheels. I used 2" spacers with the factory setup and it was perfect now it seems as though I would need a 1" spacer for the wheels to sit correctly in the wheel wells. Has anyone else run into this issue? maybe ebmiller can chime in? thanks! Other than that the brakes look sick! and in case anyone is wondering the z51 rotors with C5 calipers will fit nicely under the stock 2000 17" WS6 wheels

That might not be the case once you go down to the 1 inch spacer.
