CAN'T MOVE!!!

Ok so here is my issue and I believe it to be brake related. I have a 1982 with a 5.7l 350 and I recently purchased a set of 17" C6 wheels and tires along with the adapters. After putting them on I went to move my car and take it for a drive, but the car will not move. I cannot go in reverse and it will go forward a little bit. I did have a friend hold the brake pedal down to snug the lug nuts, but that is about it. any ideas? Any information is appreciated.

along with the adapters
And these adapters would be ..... ???

Good place to start would be to figure out whether the fronts are interfering, or the rears; then inspect everything to see what's hitting what.

The spacers were from Hawks Third Gen, I do not know the exact sizes I will have to measure. I will be putting the car up on stands today and seeing what end is giving me the problem. I just wanted to see if anyone had this happen before.

By all means, do that... should be 1¾" at the very least, probably 2" would be better.
