4th gen rims without spacers?

Would 4th gen rims fit on a 3rd gen without the use of spacers? I know a great deal on rims and tires, but they are made for a 4th gen. If anyone has any pictures of what the car looks like without spacers please post. Thanks

No. If you used a 4th gen rear you could put the wheel on the back without spacers. But up front you have no choice. There is a backspacing difference of over 2.25".

like said before, the 4th gen rear will allow for rear wheels without spacers, but there is no front workaround, and they will not fit on the rear without the 4th gen rear or spacers.

period.
