Impala SS uses rotors with 5x5 lug pattern...

You'll need to redrill the rotor for the smaller 5x4.75 pattern and then run a thin hub-centric ring to center the rotor on the smaller axle register (2.78" dia versus 3.06" dia). Brake offset dimension on the late-model housing is about a millimeter less than the early housing, so a spacer would be a good idea.
The C5/C6 kits are quite popular with the 94-96 Impala SS crowd and you can actually squeeze a 330mm Z51 rear kit inside the OE 17" wheels...barely. You may want to check out the B/D-body fourm here for more info: http://www.impalassforum.com/vBulletin/
