That's exactly the setup I have and they work fine, at least I'm 99% sure. I didn't measure the rotors, but they came off a 72 Stang, and all 71-3 Stangs had 11-inch rotors, didn't they? Anyone?

As long as the wheel doesn't taper off, I think you should be ok.

It depends on the wheel and the caliper. I have 11" Granada rotors on my II with GM calipers. I hade to grind the casting of the caliper a bit to get American racing "outlaw II's" to fit. Tim

I guess I should have clarified, I am talking about 11" drum brakes on the rear. ------------------

They should fit with no issues at all. 11" inside the drum shouldn't be more than 12" outside the drum. You should have no issues...Tim
