I actually wanted to use the VN327's on my g-body Malibu that will be getting a budget GM based late model 2-piston caliper set-up (C6 base caliper w/Z51 13.4" rotor. No go w/o spacing them @ least 1/2". I have zero interest cobbling things together just to clear. It's a similar issue using the Torq Thrusts.
Sorry it didn’t work out, bright side is you didn’t have to invest in wheels to get your answer..good luck in your quest…on my end the rear spacer is only to position the wheel relative to the body, not for caliper issue

True. But, no way I would spend >$700 a pop 'hoping' it would work.

I tried other brands that are budget friendly but you dont get to choose offset & I can't use generic 'one size fits all' options that they offer. The alternative brand was close & could possibly work for the front but the matching rears would require narrowing the rear end to get them able to clear the sheet metal w/a disc brake set-up.

I bought a pair of the Rocket Hyper wheels to see if I like them. They clear everything brake wise & offer 1/2" increment options on back-space. The unfortunate thing is they're not old school visually which was what I wanted.

Stock front with 1.5" spacer, 215/75 tires.

Old aftermarket chrome reverse 8" rear wheels with less backspacing/deeper outer lip than Blazer hubcap wheels, like 3 1/4" or 3 3/8" with 235/75 tires.

Are those wheels light blue or are they just reflecting color from somewhere?

Wheel Vintiques 15x8 (4¼" backside) with 275/60R15 Firestone. Added 5/16" spacers on rear for better fender fill and to better clear the aftermarket 5-lug brake drums. Normal repop hubcaps.
