Default 98-02 f-body brakes will they change the offset on my 69 camaro,?

If I put 98-02 f body brakes on a 69 camaro will it change my offsets? Also would z06 wheels fit under there with these mods? Sorry if its been beat to death or asked to much. I am doing this conversion soon and had a few final questions. Thanks guys.

If the 69 has drums then yes it will push out your wheels about an 1/8 of an inch. Here's a good thread about the swap http://www.camaros.net/forums/showth...ls1+brakes+gen

C5 Z06 or C6 Z06 wheels, there's a big difference between the two, both of which are really wide such that steering arm interference and turn radius could be issues depending on your setup. In any event, both of the Z06 wheels are relatively high offset designs and will require an bolt-on type spacer/adapter to mount to a first-gen F-body up front, and either something similar in the rear or a wider rear axle assembly. There's no way to run the 19x12 in the back without at least mini-tubbing the car, and the 10.5" C5 Z06 option is pretty well over the max of what the stock wheel tubs will generally allow, which is a 9.5" wheel and 275 or maybe 285 tire if you're BS is spot on.

C5 Z06 front wheel = 17x9.5, 54mm offset (~7.38" BS)
C5 Z06 rear wheel = 18x10.5, 58mm offset (~8.03" BS)

C6 Z06 front wheel = 18x9.5, 40mm offset (~6.82" BS)
C6 Z06 rear wheel = 19x12, 59mm offset (~8.82" BS)

Here's where I got the wheel info...link.
