GSL SE vs GSL with 13" wheels

I have a friend that bought some 13" wheels. But someone has swapped the rear diff/axle to a GSL SE. I gave him some axle shafts so he could have the 4x110 lugs to match the front. But the 13's hit the calipers.

Not sure if the bracket (welded on the axle) and, or if the calipers are bigger on the GSL SE.

I have all the GSL stuff (I know 13"s fit on a GSL). SO I can send it to him. Just don't know what all is needed. Calipers and rotors?

Does anyone know what is needed to make the 13"s fit.

Thanks in advance.

the SE wheels r 14" and i'm pretty sure different offset. if it does have the complete SE rear end, the rear rotors may be larger dia for the SE making the caliper stand out farther. so may need to swap the rear end for the GSL one.

Send him the rotors and complete calipers with bracket. Probably cheaper just for him to purchase new non GSL-SE rotors from Rock Auto.

The calipers and brackets are different for the GSL-SE. He will need the rotors, calipers and brackets.
