I don't know if you ever got the pictures you want but I just bought a package that has some damaged Wilwood calipers that I won't be using for a while. Feel free to come up and check them out in person. You're welcome to put your car on the lift and pull a wheel to check out whatever fitment issues you're concerned about.

specs from wilwood for the aero6
The wheel fitment templates will vary by the aero6 kit you get but I believe they're around 40mm from the rotor hat face to the outside edge of the caliper

Very close. The stock caliper bodies I believe are a tad larger in overall size. But hardly enough to make much of a visual question of one v the other.
The 40mm ref is about right relative to the Corvette kits also. (37 on most factory kits)
Note that the variations shown above of 1.97 and 2.10" are based upon the model of Aero6 used; the 20mm pad version being a required wider housing. This it not the most common of kits however due to the potential wheel fit issues that come with it. These are limited to the 'race' kit with the full floating rotors etc. The mainstream kits use 17mm pads and thinner housings.
If you're looking to use the Aero6 on another app and don't know what wheel clearance will bring you can use an interactive calculator HERE to calculate the body overhang relative to the hat as shown in that pic above.
