No the Impala SS wheel will not fit on a 3rd Gen as is, because of the different bolt pattern. The Impala is 5 on 5, and a 3rd Gen is 5 on 4 3/4. If you can find some place to modify the Impala wheel center hub for the 5 on 4 3/4 bolt pattern then they will fit. The back spacing on the 17X8.5 Impala wheel is 5 1/16, so no wheel spacer is needed.

Just thought I'd let you know. The Impala SS rims are made by ROH. They are the Roh ZR6 model. I know a guy who but them on a black IROC convertible....looked really nice!

Im not trying to knock you or anything mike, but i checked it out, and they are definitely 5 inch lug spacing, and i dont think that would be close to fitting on a 4 3/4 inch pattern. How did you get them to fit?
