Will thirdgen wheels fit on a 4thgen?

I have some spare 14 inch rims I was thinking of getting snow tires for. Then I could just slap em on in the winter.

I've got a set of Blizzacks on 16" steel wheels I'll give you a good deal on. I doubt the 14" wheels would fit over the brakes

If the 14's will clear the brakes, they will stick out of the rear wheel well pretty bad. When you hit a bump and the suspension flexes, the tire is gonna hit the fender lip. Wrinkles and scrapes will ensue.

Look around for some 16" steelies that came on the V6 cars with hubcaps.

Re: Will thirdgen wheels fit on a 4thgen?

Yes, the rears will fit on 4th gen's. I had a friend that bought 4 rear wheels for his 4th gen road race car. I don't know which ones they were, or what they were called, but they had black centers w/ aluminum rings. Nice lookin' wheels, and they were really light, which is what he was looking for in order to stay within regulations of the class he raced in. From what I've heard they are kinda hard to get ahold of.

I dont see how they would work, seeing as how 4th gen rear ends are 3" wider than 3rd gen rear ends. I could be wrong though, if other people have tried it and its worked.
