I don't see why it can't be done, the tires will just stick out more

With a 4th gen rear axle, about the best dish you can get is what the stock 3rd gen rear wheels have. With that, you'll have the tires sitting flushwith the fender lips....not tucked any.

Here's a car with the stock rear wheels& a 4th gen rear axle.

ahhh crap thats what i was afraid of. i have seen some rims that have the spokes go inward from the lugs, so its dished but with offset that would keep them tucked, i guess i'll just have to find those or some similar. thanks for the pics
