I assume you meant 96 wheels?
Backspacing on third gen wheels are in the 5.25" range and backspacing on fourth gen wheels is 7". Both wheels are 8" wide. I have some 4th gen wheels and have tried fitting them on my 91. Wheel spacer adapters will be needed to make it work. At least 1" thick should do it, otherwise they won't clear behind the wheels/tires.
