REar end swap

Does anyone know if the rear end off a 1995 maro will fit in a 1991 RS?

It will fit, but it's wider.

Re: REar end swap

Will it rub in the wheel well or not a big concern? My 16" iroc wheels will fit?

Hey, jherrera,

Welcome to TGO.

As you can imagine there aren't many questions that haven't been asked and answered on this site. As a consequence, a search will often provide answers more thoroughly and more quickly than posting your question.

Best of luck on your project.

Your 16" wheels fit & will fit under the fenders & not rub, but just barely. They will be flush with the outer most edge of the quarter panel. Do not lower your car much, if any unless you put on 4th gen wheels. They will fit further in like yours do now on the 3rd gen rear.

Re: REar end swap

Makes no difference as to the fit. Just depends on which is stiffer/softer & what you want.
