Need some wheel HELP!

Ok I've got a potential buyer for my stock wheels...if they'll fit a 3rd gen. Question is...will they? I don't know much about the fitment info for previous generations compared to my 4th gen. The wheels are the stock 16" 5 spokes that came off my car...any info will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks guys

not a direct bolt on, but can be made to fit (not safely though)

The bolt pattern is correct but the backspacing is an inch different. The rear ends on a 3rd gen were an 1" narrower on each side so without spacers they won't look like right-

some 1" bolt on spacers and they SHOULD fit no problem. Im pretty sure that is the right size, may want to check teamthridgen or waht ever that site is to see running a 4th gen wheel on a 3rd gen

just remember spacers are for show only, and should never be used on a street vehicle (I know I say it everytime but it is important)

Not to try and skunk your sale, but IMO having to buy spacers, ($100+) and running stock 4th gen wheels isn't the best buy. I think there are a lot of other wheel choices out there that look a lot better than a stock 4th gen wheel. But I know there are a lot of people who really like the stock wheels so if thats what they want then I'm not going to down them...
