the bolt pattern in the middle of the wheel doesn't fit your car?
thats wierd any rim on any 4th gen car will be compatible with any ontehr 4th gen.
Even alot fo 3rd gen wheels are compatible with 4th gens.

I had a similar problem
I put SS rims on my 95 camaro, and had to take a dremel tool and sand down the inside of the hub so the hole in the center of the wheel fits around the hub of the axle. See if that makes any sense.,

What year rear end did you get? I swapped in one from a 97 into my 95, and still had to file the wheels. I too have the disks in the back, but I had a shop do the swap.
Also, and nobody has really answered this question, maybe you can: Would an LS1 aluminum 1 piece drive shaft fit my car? It's an auto.
