I was told by a salvage yard that it'll work, but the 4th gen rear is 2 inches wider than the 3rd gen.

you will have to use 4th gen rear wheels. If you use third gen wheels then yes they will rub on the fenders.

I was told that you could use third gen wheels, but they would stick out of the wheel well 2 inches.

do you need adapter's for the 3rd gen wheels to fit the 4th gen rear axle? will the wheels stick out from the wheel wells, or still be inside the wells? thanks, tom
