the basic setup is almost the same but we can't depend on them drawings for comparison... what you should do is to get yourself an aveo axel and use it for cross referencing with other cars

i got myself a lanos rear axle and used it to compare the bolt pattern of the vectra's rear axle and it was a perfect match... you should compare your axle to the rear assembly of candidate cars and choose the one that fits... it all comes down to the bolt pattern on the axle and how it fits to the rear suspension member.

I loved this brake swap Upgrade you have done, but in my location Opel Vectra doesn't exist, so I am still with no rear disk brake. I found this thread very useful I congratulate you on this project. Turbo Puerto Rico.
