All kits use the 70-78 Camaro rotor. Speedway has them drilled in different patterns. The rotor does not fit your spindles directly, an inner bearing adaptor has to be used. It's either the 70-78 Camaro rotors or the 6 lug kit that re-uses your drum hubs, that's all that is available for your stock spindles.
You might find a 1/2" lug stud with a knurl that could be used to substitute the 5/8 studs but you won't know that until you have the rotors in hand and measure the existing hole size. If you want 5 on 5 that's what your choices are.
If you're using alum wheels you can redrill the holes for the larger size, should be done on a vertical mill
