Vintage Wheel Works V-40's 18x8 w/ 4.5 bs and 18x9.5 w/ 5.5 bs.

No spacers, pan head allen bolt used in top of front wheel opening, tight clearance in the rear may require a little inner wheel well massaging with a hammer. Rear outer fender lips have not been rolled but it wouldn't hurt.

Has anyone tried the big brake kits from Matts Classic?

You don't need the AFx spindle. I would recommend the billet hubs. They are a very good bargain for what you're getting. Fitting into your budget is another thing though.

I've got Kore 3's front C5/6 hybrid setup on the car. It's C6 calipers on C5 rotors. I bought the billet hubs and just used their adapter bracket. I have C5 rears. I used a 4th gen Fbody MC and have a proportioning valve on the rear line. Brakes work really well. Tobin's customer service is fantastic.
