I was running touring classics c5 caliper/ 13"c4 rotor hybrid on 18" coys. Are you concerned with clearance?

I had plenty of clearence w. the hybrid kit, and considered changing my brackets to the C5 rotor because of it (before I went c6 z06). I can post pictures if you'd like to get and idea. If I can find some?

Not the best picture sorry. If they were still on i would go take a picture for you. The spokes have enough curve to them that they offer plenty of clearance for the c5 rotor which has less offset then the c4's in the picture.

I was planning on making my own kit for my car. Buying the brackets separate, and then buying some c4 13" rotors, already have c5 calipers,

If your planning on running the 13" c4 rotor you will be more then fine. That's exactly what I had in my picture. They're actually able to clear a 17" Torq Thurst II wheel with the raised corvette lettering shaved off. Touring classics will also be able to sell you the brackets for this hybrid c4/c5 setup. I have used both Touring Classics and Kore3 brackets and I am pleased with both company's products.

Are you concerend with Caliper face to wheel clearance?

If so, ask Coy how thick their wheel pad is, and then measure how far your caliper is past the wheel mounting surface/rotor face. Which I believe will be right around 3/4"
