Will my wheels fit....

on a fourth gen? My buddy is thinking about trading his 17s that are on his 98 Z28 for my GTA wheels. But we need to know if they will fit on his car. I know I need adapters to fit his on mine, but what about the other way?
Thanks
Brian

Also.... If I put a fourthgen rearend on my car will my GTA wheels still fit on there fine? or will there be problems?

no, they will stick out about 2" further than they should on each side.

Yeah your rims will stickout about 1 - 1.5" on all 4 corners on a 4th gen. If you put a 4th gen rear in your car your rims will meet the outter edge of the wheel well with your GTA'a and the 4th gen rims will fit right!

That should be pretty easy to fab up then

Will I have a problem with speed bumps and stuff like that?

well when I did mine I did full suspension.. springs and shocks and left my 91/92 16" wheels on till I got the c5's and on bumps my tire hit the wheel well and put some cuts on it... not bad but some marks. I ran it that way for a year or so and no problems.

Well I have stock springs and WS6 susp. so I hope it will be fine. I am probably going to put the rear end in because:
1. Its free
2. It has 3.73s
3. I like the aggresive look

Thanks for the help and pics

Brian
