big brake small wheels question

[19cutlass79]

So I finally got my 200r4 in my wagon, and I am going to start on my G national rear end, planning on doing the ls1 rear set up, already have most of the parts just need the rotors, pads, and ebrake shoes. I want to keep the 15x8 american racing torque thrust do guys think it will fit, just to cross reference I looked up 15" rims for fourth gen camaros and there is quite a few available. So hopefully they fit in my rims and its just a case of the caliper not being deep enough on the rotor hat and touching the mounting surface of the rim, I don't mind using an adapter as long as it's not to crazy, what you guys think?

thanks,
wade

not sure about your wheels, but I have 12" B body rotors on my wagon and the 15" z-28 wheels still fit. I have read that some 15 inch wheels will not. keep us posted, I am considering some torque thrusts for mine when it hits the road

Thanks for the input, I think I'm gonna give it a try in the next couple of weeks.

I have 12" LT1 version camaro rear disks on my 9" ford. I like the fact that they use the same brake pads for the e-brake. No seperate internal drum or anything. Called 12" but actually measure like 11.6 or something. I have Early 90's vette Heavy Duty 13" PBR calipers up front. You need a 17" or larger wheel for those but I believe if you use the standard 12" corvette stuff they clear the 12" version.

LT1 ( 98-03) rear disks on my stock 15" alum wheels ( see avatar ). The only 15" wheels I have heard that they will not clear is the chrome 15" Olds 442 rims ( something to do with the inner dim of the wheel).
