3rd gen. wheels on a 1st gen.

The rears will...dont think the front fits so well, maybe a grinder can persuade things???
 
Since the 3rd gen wheels are 17" I would thing they will fit. They fit just fine on my '96. Nice upgrade for the looks too!!
 
I have not done it personally but I have seen 1st gens with 3rd gen wheels. I don't see a reason why they would not fit.
 
Yea if 1st gens are 16" wheels I would see no reason why the 17" rims would not.
 
Ya I was thinking that they would fit but I wasn't sure. Wont be running oversized tires, just the nicer wheels.
 
they won't fit without a spacer. I ran them on my 1st gen and the offset is wrong . 1 1/2" spacer works great.

Click to expand...

Now that looks sharp... just gotta get some hogged out 3rd gen centers on there to clear the lock outs.
 
tried it a few weeks ago.... didnt work out well the bead on the rims rubs the upper control arm, i didnt try the rears, but i would think you would need spacers because of the backspacing.... and lug 1/2 inch lug nuts with raised shoulders.... the stock lug nuts will dig into the rim.
