I swapped over to a 2001 camaro ss rear end a couple days ago. I ordered 2 rotors which were from a 2001 rear. When I got the rotors I realized they were fromt he front and not the back, so I'm back to ground zero. I just bought some 15 inch wheels and when I was looking for calipers to fit 98-02 rear ends, I found out that the assembly might be too big for the inside of the wheel. The rotor is 11.5", and even thoguh it's for the front rears were rated the same size, or so I read... Anyways, the caliper might scrap against the inside of the wheel. The diameter of the inside of the wheel is 14.5". I was wondering whether I should get the 98-02 rear brake assembly. I also wondered whether the 93-97 brakes would work as well. I heard it was smaller then the 98-02, but I didn't know whether the calipers form the 93-97 would bolt into my 2001 mount. I'm on a limited budget and can't afford to be buying two sets of things, knowing this, what should I do. So to sum it all up.
Will the 98-02 brake assembly rub in my wheels?
Will the 93-97 brakes fit on the 2001 rear end?
Which one, in your mind, should I get if my budget is limited and only have enough money to buy one set of things?

Thanks.

 

93-97 f-body rear brakes are nearly identical to 89-92 f-body rear brakes. (drums to drums, disks to disks,) and those do fit all 15" wheels I've ever tried on them.

Yes, the 93-97 brakes fit the 01 rear end. As to your question of your wheels on a 98-02 brake setup - go test fit them on a 4th gen; I don't know. Also, you should post what your wheels are; someone else might have 'em.
