Yes, it will. However, the offset is different so you will have to change rims. Do a search on the driveline board to get specifics.

Just wanted to get you a quick answer.

It would be sweet if the from rims would fit that. Then no more problems rotating tires.

Not nearly that easy.. more like switch to 4th gen rims or similar offset.

Sounds like a good time to get some ROH ZS's.

I've seen people run 4th gen rears as a direct swap onto their thirdgens. IMHO its HARDLY noticable that the tires stick out an extra inch on each side.
