GEN 3 wheels on a GEN 1?

[a-mechanic]

Hi, I'm new here. I just got my first viper, a '93, for christmas this year.
I tried to search my question first and came up with some gen2's that have the third gen wheels. But no gen 1's my question is will they fit or hit. I already have a set of rims, but before I invest in rubber I'd like to know.
thanks in advance.

Most important thing is if the bolt pattern is the same. You can buy different profile tires to fit in the wheel well. I don't know who makes tires for the Gen 3 Rims (a post on the Gen 3 forum would probably answer that question). I think Perelli makes low profile tires that fit Gen 2 rims, so maybe they make a tire for the larger rim, not sure.

Good luck.

The Gen III rims will fit fine on the Gen I's. Go for it, they look awesome.

I bought the gen 3 tires and wheels and put them on my gen 1 and put the early gen 2 wheels on the 98 gts. I get lots of looks with these and I love the 19's on the back

The GEN I looks new and awesome with the updated rims that are still factory. Tasteful and wicked looking.
