LS1 front brakes,spindle bracket thickness?

Hi,
I need to reduce bracket thickness from 10mm(~3/8") to 8mm(~5/16") that I got rotor middle of caliper carrier.Is that 8mm bracket enough strong?

With current wheel setup,unfornately not.I try to minimise positive wheel offset so the front wheel stays inside front fender.At that reason from hub has been mashined 1.5mm away(from where wheel mounts)->brake disc is not centered at caliper carrier...
