Been thinking of running different rims, but to be swapable with the Firebird I need to convert the car back to a 5 x 4.75" wheel bolt pattern and that requires getting new brake rotors. The rears are easy as I can just get the '79 Trans Am disc's and my axles are already drilled out for the 4.75" bolt pattern so I just have to move the screw in studs. The fronts were a bit trickier since I need a 12" rotor and the smaller bolt pattern. The early 90's Camaro's with the 1LE option had 12" rotors with the smaller pattern and hopefully with just a bearing, and possible race, change to a Set 34 outer bearing they'll slide right on. I've looked at them a few times over the years and at nearly $90 a rotor I wasn't in any rush to go get them, but I found them on Amazon today for $34 each, so a pair are on their way and after shipping were still cheaper than one rotor from Autozone or NAPA I'll get the rears down the road when I'm actually ready to swap tires around.
I want to see if the OE rally rims I have for the Firebird will fit on the disc brake conversion done to the Firebird (my first Firebird had disc brakes and OE rally's), and if so I'll look at putting them on the Firebird and that way I can use the lighter rims on the Skylark for taking it to the track.
