No they won't work if the calipers are off your 96 and the axle is from a 86. They mount up differently and I think the 86 has a smaller rotor.

just buy parts for a 86 when u buy parts and remember the clips will go in upside down, but they will rattle out eventually and eat your rim. thats the only thing bad about that style caliper clip. i can get pads calipers and rotors for like 175

Yeah they will, and I've got a gouge inside one wheel as a reminder.
