Yes, your bolt pattern is the same, you just have to watch to mach sure the rims dont rub the calipers/drums. I put some SS rims on my 89 iroc WITH OUT spacers and they rubed my calipers, eeehhh good thing they werent my rims, i let a guy with a 97 SS use my slicks for a few runs and i was going to run his street tires. Well he got to run but i didnt. Good luck with yours though.

The bolt pattern is the same for the 3rd and 4th gen but the required offset if very different.

The 3rd gen will require a wheel with an off set of around 0mm. While the 4th gen needs an offset in the 50-60mm range.

For example, a 4th gen rim will not bolt directly onto a 3rd gen. You have to utilize spacers.

However a 3rd gen rim will bolt on a 4th gen, but the wheel will stick out past the fender lip about 2-3"

What type of rims were you planning on using? Stock 3rd or 4th gen rims? Aftermarket rims? What are the specs on it? Rim width, diameter, offset, backspacing?

yep. i have run tires stores for quite awhile. GM has never changed the bolt pattern on the fbody. only the back spacing as the years went by. the bolt pattern is 5 x 4.75 meaning 5 lug 4.75" bolt circle

you cna put 3rd gen on 4th gen. they will stick out about 2" though. to put 4th gen on a 3rd, you'll need 2" adapters from www.skulte.com
