Will 4.5" to 6.5" wheel adapters clear the calipers on the 8.8?

I know alot of you have ran these adapters to match the 6x6.5 bolt pattern on the rear axle but the trucks I see on here all have drums in the rear. I have an '03 Sport Trac with disc brakes in the rear, will the adapters clear the calipers or are they too big in diameter for the calipers/ brackets? Thanks in advance.
 






I removed the wheel today so I could measure the rotor hub and check for clearances for the calipers. The hub measured 7.5" so there's no issue there and the calipers are set back behind the hub face. and the caliper is tapered down towards the hub as well.

I hope this helps other members looking to use the adapters that have disc rear brakes. I'll upload pictures of the measurements tomorrow and take, upload pictures when I get the adapters in mounted to show clearances.
