Re: help with wheels i bought
Are you running the factory stock front brakes?
Are the front and rear Torq Thrust wheels the same?
Have you tried the ones that fit the rear, on the front?

factory front brakes correct the rear brakes are 4th gen because i swapped the rears the rears wouldnt work because 10.5 inch width for the rear wondering if i should get wheel spacers just not sure the best way to go about this just the hub on the rotor is to like long for the wheel to go on

If the wheels off a 4th Gen you need 2" or so spacers for the front wheels.
All hubs are going to be the same size on a 3rd.gen
