I believe it will work. Lug pattern for the '94 is 5x4.75. I'm quite sure that's what yours is also. If they're near you, go check it out, and try them on.

I'm fairly certain they'll still fit. I agree, if they're near try them on. Or if you know of a friend with a 4th gen, try on of his wheels. Gm was smart and cept the bolt patterns the same for ALONG time.

If you want to use 4th Gen wheels on a 3rd gen car, you will need 2.5 thick spacers on the front. The offset of the front amd rear are quite different on 3rd gen vs 4th gen cars.

the only thing you need to worry about is rubbing due to bad backspacing. this is what the spacers do for you. so get the rims u want and get spacers if ti doesnt sit right
