Please Help, brake questions!

Ok here's my issue: I have 14' rims, and I plan on keeping it that way. However, I do wish to upgrade my rear drums to disc brakes. I've already pulled everything off and I'm getting ready to figure out what I need to buy. Now the rotors I planned on buying which are drilled/slotted say they are for the v6 camry, and I can't find those type for the 2.2 except for the oem kind. Will the v6 rotors be too big? And will the v6 calipers fit or have clearance issues? I noticed a set of tiny rear calipers at the junk yard, but I'm not sure if that's what I want or not. And lastly, if the v6 rotors will fit, can the smaller calipers be used with them? Sorry about all the questions...

Read through this DIY first. It'll tell you everything you'll need to get.

Gen 3 and 4 Rear Drum to Disc DIY

Yes, the entire V6 Camry rear disc setup will fit inside 14" steelies. I still had 14" steelies when I did the swap, and there's no clearance issues. As for the front rotors, check out summit racing.

Why not upgrade to at least 15's so you can upgrade to V6 front discs? The V6 front disc setup will not fit 14" rims. I snagged a decent set of 15" XLE alloys for $100 with center caps. Since you're going to a bone yard to get the rear disc parts, look around for a set of twin piston calipers, and 15" rims too.
