12" rotors, tII caliper?

so here's the scenario.
i'm swapping tII front brakes into an fb along with an 8.8 rear.
it may or may not make a difference, but i'd feel really strange with 11" rear brakes and 10.9 fronts, i have to make a custom bracket anyhow, so it won't be too much work.
so, my question is, has anyone done say, an 11.5 or 12" rotor under tII calipers, but more importantly, is there anyway to get the bigger rotor to fit under vert bbs rims?

thanks.

Here are some FD calipers (essentially the same as the TII calipers) adapted to fit over some big rotors:

oh wow, i didn't know this but that article says fd rotors are 11.5.
with custom brackets, does anyone know if those'll fit under 15" vert rims?
how much space is there with stock rotors, 4 pots and verts? i havent rigged anything up to see.

thanks for the link.
