Rear question....kinda

Ok so im going to put a 4th gen 3.42 posi disc brake rear in my '92 rs. When i got the rear, i bought 1999 trans am wheels with it. I know for a fact that i will have no clearence or rubbing problems bolting the wheels to the 4th gen rear, but will i have clearence problems with my front wheels? If so would i need to buy some kind of adapter? Or will they work just fine. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

They won't clear the struts. You'll need adapters, somewhere around 1.5-2" if I remember right. Search the forum....the information should be out there.

You'll need 2" spacers for the front wheels to fit on your thirdgen. They're readily available from a bunch of aftermarket f-body parts vendors. Check ebay for the best prices on them.
