The CV also uses a high off-set wheels so if your going to use it you will need to narrow the K-Member or make your own your your desired width.
You apparantly can use Nascar type wheels becouse they use a different type of rim to allow huge brakes for a 15" rim by comparison. Aero wheel company I think sells them, but they are not DOT legal. Like I wouldn;t do it.
You maybe able to grind down the front calipers to clear. Or wilwood has some smaller/thinner calipers then typical stock ones that you maybe able to make work.
Other then that I don't think it is possable for the average guy to grind off the caliper mounting points, and then move them down in comparison for a 11.5 inch disk.
