1LE brakes
Will these fit under 15" 88-90 Iroc rims?
I did a search but not too many pictures turned up of the process. Does anyone have a step by step idiots guide to doing the swap?

I read the sticky but all I got is "1LEs will fit some 15" wheels". No mention of a definite fitment on 15" 88-90 irocs that I saw.
Thanks. So basically all there is to it is making two holes larger, tapping them, and cutting off the piece the old calipers attached to on the spindle/knuckle? That doesn't seem too difficult.

Re: 1LE brakes
Q: Will the LS1 setup clear my stock 15 or 16 inch wheels?
A: This setup will not clear any 15 inch rims that came stock on thirdgens. Here are the rims that will work:
- Early model & Late model IROC 16 inch rims
- Some GTA and Firebird rims work some don't you will need to research that on thirdgen.org
Some firebird/GTA rims need shims to space out the wheel, this can be done with GM part number 14091902 (.030 inches thick).
