Can 4th gen wheels be bolted right on 3rd gen cars. If not what can be purchased that is a direct bolt on? I have found some posts that refer to spacers,how do they work with factory studs? Won't the studs be to short?

 

the front will need 2"adapters,these fit onto your rotor and get bolted on with lug nuts and then your wheel gets bolted onto the adapter.
the rear can be done in the same way or you can put a 4th gen rear end in your car.

 

I have put a 4th gen rear in my car from Moser. I had to go with a +42 offset with 7 inch rims, so they do not stick out past my wheel wells and on the front I went with 2 inch spacers. The switch to 4th gen style rims is hard to get use to if you are use to the closed style rim. It is beginning to grow on me , but I am still not sure

 

these are the only ones that look good on 3rd

 

I just did this swap 1 to 2 months ago, do a search to find my post.
