Gonna be getting my gen3 back from josh and it's going to get the 3-4 treatment. Along with 17x9 up front and 17x10.5 rear.

Btw are you running a spacer up front? I had to on the 98.

Yeah, I'm running 1.25" up front but probably could have pulled off a 1". 98's have different sized hubs but I'm 99% sure you'll have to run at least a 1" on front in order to clear the hubs.

Yee!

Actually, rstangboi had a 98 he lowered with the same rims as mine. He ran a 1" spacer and it worked fine.

Our rims are 17x8 though. Not sure how big of a difference that will make.

On my 98 I ran a 1" spacer on a 9" wheel and it was about flush with the fender and looked great and matches perfectly with a 10.5 wheel on the rear.
