Exclamation Rear end swap

I recently swapped out the read end of my Camaro. I own a 96 RS(3800) model. The rear end that I swapped with was the end from an 87-88 I-ROC Z28. The old Zs' rear end is slightly too narrow, and the wheels now hit the inside of the body. Is this because of the drum to disc conversion or is the rear end just too narrow. What can I do to remedy this with keeping the older rear end in? I just want to be able to keep the disc breaks and the beefier 3.23 gear in the back. Anybody have any ideas?

You just need some wheel spacers. This should be the same wheel spacer you have to buy if you want to put 4th gen wheels on a 3rd gen. I think they are on ebay. Also wheels from the 3rd gen might work.
