4th Gen Rear-How much wider?

I've read on here that your wheels will "stick out more" if you put a 4th gen rear on a 3rd gen.........i didn't see anywhere where it says by how much....1/4 inch 1/2 inch? I'm thinking about getting one since my 9 bolt is now acting like a one legger.....Does anybody rebuild 9 bolts? Thanks Pat
