All disk kits will move the wheel out some. But here is how to make a kit your self. http://www.chevelles.com/forums/showthread.php?t=115940 also some more options here. http://www.chevelles.com/forums/showthread.php?t=107745

The OE track width between the drum and disc cars varied by about .44" per side (disc cars are wider), except for the "Widetrack" Pontiacs which had different, wider drum hubs and therefore a smaller difference. Most of the aftermarket C5/C6 disc kits are based on or around the OE Chevy drum hubs and as such only increase track width by about .200", the difference between the thickness of the rotor hat and the drum hat. Of course, that'll require 17" wheels minimum more than likely.
