Early 911’s used non-vented rotors, but if you are adapting 5 lug conversion using 914 rear brakes you will need to cut the rotor diameter by 3mm (if I am remembering correctly). Be advised that the screws to stabilize the rotor to the drive flange doesn’t line up, be careful when mounting the wheel to center the brake disk on the studs as off center rotors will be out of balance causing a shimmy in the rear.

not if you get the stock rear solid rotors from PMb that are drilled for 5 lug, but you have to pull and replace the hub that has the studs in it. IF you want to go thru the full expense of replacing the calipers, then do that and get the 914/6 caliper and rotor. Or full out 911 parts. its a slippery slope and one not necessary to slide down unless you have a bunch of cash burning holes in your pocket. and Jim i know you are not planning on racing. do you already have 5 lug and you are just changing the rotors? not sure what your starting point is and what your end goal is.
