Sure. Any 3rd gen wheel will fit another 3rd gen.

4th gen wheels will fit with spacer adapters, like those from Skulte. Or if you put a 4th gen rear in, you'll only need the adapter spacers for the front.

By WS6, do you mean 4th gen wheels? If so, you need the bolt-on one from Skulte, not cheapo slip ons from Prep Blows.

If you mean 3rd gen wheels they'll bolt right up. And yes, WS6 was a valid option on 3rd gens. Just not part categorized as a WS6 piece.

My recommendation for getting them....Skulte can advise you as to how wide to go. He'll know.
