My LT1 calibers are rubbing with LS1 Axles!

I have a 94 Camaro Z. I switched rear ends and wheels with my friend's 98 Formula. We had to pull the axles out and swap brake brackets, no problem. With my car together now with the wheel on, the rotor rubs the INSIDE of the caliper. I pulled the wheel off with the rear of the car lifted and put it in drive and it rubbed, but not near as bad. I really don't know what to do at this point, I have just put on new rotors and pads and want it fixed asap before they are ruined. I have heard LS1 axles are JUST slightly shorter than LT1 axles, so I don't know if a washer would help if it is on the inside. Any suggestions to correct this problem?

I heard you can re use the LT1 axles, I had the same problem. The LS1 rear is about 1/8 shorter than the LT1's. I jut bit the bullet and just pick up the LS1 rear brake kit off ebay.

I took it over to my dad's house and figured it out. We got 10 .5" spacers and put them on between the axle and the rotor. Works awesome. Thanks for those who views.
