3rd gen 4th gen wheel swap

To put the 4th gen " salad shooters" on a 3rd gen, do I need spacers on all 4 wheels? what size? I have 4 wheel disc brakes does that matter?

Same as everybody else.

Yes you need spacers. 1-3/4" to 2" depending on wheel width. For those narrow wheels, the narrower spacer is probably better.

Will the rims and tires stick out from the wheel wells or do they still tuck? Also, anyone know if the repo 17" x 11"s fit in the rear or do you have to do a mini tub?
