I am low on funds and told i could get a 98 rear end out of a junk yard. Would it be a slick fit or should i continue looking for an Iroc rear?

It's wider, but other than that, it fits. I forget how much wider for sure though, and I'm wondering if using the 4th gen wheels will put the tire where they need to be! I'm sort of in the same dilema, I have access to a complete, totaled '95 Z, but I don't know how things would fit with which wheels.

the 4th gen will postition the disks out far enough to use the 4th gen wheels, and it bolts up straight vic just like i said.

and the only thing you need if you want the 4th gen rear and those wheels would be spacers for the fronts. thats it.
everything else will fit.
