Jeremy,

If it's a M6 car is has 3.42's, get the code off of the top of the driver's side axle tube. It'll look like GU5 as an example, GU5 is 3.23. Dirk has all the codes in the Tech Section.

The 4th Gen rear is 2" longer on each end, making the rear 4" wider overall compared to a ThirdGen rear.

What you need to do is use 4thGen rims on your car and you'll be fine as they have the proper back spacing. If you use ThirdGen rims, they will stick out 2" on each side and it looks hideous.

Good Luck!

Steve
