They won't fit without spacer/adapters, I tried with mine. The backspacing on the 3rd gen wheels are about 5.5" and the 4th gen are about 7.25". So you should be able to get away with using 1.5" spacers.

Yes, you need 2" spacers all the way around. I have the same thing on my 91 with 96 ss wheels on it. I do have 2 fourth gen rear ends, one is a posi, which will be installed very soon. With the new rear end, I will only need spacers on the front.

Yeah i have pics, but the car doesn't look that good. The wheels look fine, but the front cap need 2 fenders and paint. Posting them today!

I have a 92 Z 28 and I have a 4th gen rear end and I have a set of Z06 wheels on 18.8.5 front and 19.10 rear. I had to use 2" spacers in rear and 1" spacers in front and I like the way it looks.
