Unhappy Supra rear brake install help!

hey guys, im pretty new here and im trying to install some supra brakes on my sc3. i got the front ones on fine, but the rears is where im having some trouble.

i got as far as taking off the stock caliper, bracket, and rotor. when i tried to put the supra rotor on, it hits the inside drum brakes for the e-brake. i tried to adjust the brakes a bit but even at the tightest setting, still the rotor would not fit on. i took it back out and measured the stock one compared to the turbo one. the stock ones have a bigger inside diameter for the e-brake than the turbo ones. is this normal? or did i get the wrong rotors?

has anyone done this swap before and can help me out? any input will be greatly appreciated.

Hmm.
I just did mine last week and the new Turbo rotors fit like a dream.
You must have the wrong rotors.?

Take a look.

There's the problem. You need a 93.5+ supra part from the MKIV supras.
