brake guys please help

i have an 86 iroc with many mods and fitment and clearance problems. i lowered my car ALOT. and have ROH snyper wheels with 245/45/17 up front and 275/40/17 on the back. i have c5 zo6 brakes up front and found out after the fact that they moved my wheels out from stock, when your third gen is lowered up front at least 3 inch or so the 3 tenths of an inch on each side is a big problem.lol but my question is...my back is stock discs but i want to change the rear to a moser 12 bolt and put the ls1 e brake assembly on the rear so i can use ls1 rear rotors and c5 calipers. will that set up make the rear wheels move out any farther then they are now. now the tires are almost out as far as the outer edge of the rear quarter panels already. and i think its kind of white trashy now...lol....any farther ill be pi$$ed! thanks ahead of time for the help guys

No, there will be no difference in rear track width. Drums and your rear discs will have the same hat thickness so as long as your rearend will be the same overall width as your current stock 3rd gen rear you will have no change in offset.

Yes, C5 ZO6 rear calipers are also coated. Check Ebay for a good deal on the rears, they usually go for cheap.
