The 88-98 rotors won’t work with your c20 spindles.
Some have used the 88-98 light duty rotor AND spindle by changing to 88-98 balljoints in your c20 control arms. I can’t remember which outer tie rod to use.
BUT,… the end result was too much positive camber to get the alignment back into specs.

The EASIEST way to convert to 6-lug from a c20 is to swap lower control arms to a c10 version and use c10 spindles with aftermarket 6-lug rotors. (Or 5-lug rotors)
This has been done for years and has been proven to work.
