4th gen rear.

Does anyone have pics of a 4th gen rear in a third gen w/thirdgen rims. Do they fit, if they fit do they look stupid?

PhantomTPI:

Have just E-Mailed pics to you.

By the way guys, I think some cars came with 14" rims. not 100% sure, The clearance on my disc's and 15" rims is very small and I dought 14" rims would clear. Just a thought.
The rear I used was from a '94 model with PBR calipers (made in Australia) sent to the U.S. Used on a '94 which was wrecked and sent back to Aus' for parts. Well travelled.
