Default Pre 1998 Drag Wheel Fitment

I'm new to the forum and this is my first post. I have a 2000 Camaro V6 as my daily driver and a 1997 Z28 project car. My question is, with all the fitment issues when installing 15 inch drag wheels on the 1998 and up Camaros, will these same wheels fit the pre 1998 Camaros without having to grind the calipers?

By Pre 1998 I mean 1993-1997 Camaros. My understanding is that these years had smaller diameter brakes. So my question is, do 15 inch diameter Draglites and Prostars fit without any brake caliper clearance issues?

Its not the diameter, its the caliper overhang, and the LT1's have alot less overhang than the LS1's. If I can remember correctly there isn't too much you need to do to the LT1's. But also most drag wheels are for a car with 0 over hang.
