GTA wheels and LS1 brakes

I know the answer is probably no, but I wondered if anyone had actually tried and had a yes or no answer. LS1 12" brakes behind 80s GTA 16" wheels? Will they fit?

67 Lemans, column shift auto, no cornering lights. Parts stores are useless for this switch. They have the SW351 which is the later style, mine is the orange one with the integral 4-way switch.
