I've seen IROC wheels on a 4th gen before so if those fit, it wouldnt suprise me. How wide are they? It says theyre running a 225 tire. Thats a tad on the small size tirewise, hopefully the rims are 16x8.

ive owned both a 3rd gena nd a 4th gen. 3rd gen wheels are considered rwd rims and have low offsets. They look deeper. THeres more of a dish to them. 4th gen rims are considered fwd rims and have high offsets. These offsets making switching a pain and adapters are needed for putting 4th gen rims on 3rd gens. It think putting 3rd gens on a 4th gen is a bad idea due to offset. It may be possible but i dont think its a good idea. IF someone knows more than me please correct me. Secondly i had those rims on my transam and they are 16x8 and can hold 255/50r16s if u want. And the front offsets are differant than the rear offsets on those rims making them a bad choice for u. Im 100% sure of this second set of facts.
