Need some seasoned owners opinions on wheels

[Broch]

Hi all!

I have a gen1 95 and just picked up a set of really nice gen3 10 spokes.

Two questions - First after thinking about it, I feel like it almost heresy to change the wheels on a gen1. Second going from 17 to 18/19 with stock suspension, will the gap be awful?

Can not wait until spring...

Gen 1 were the best wheels ever. If you change your wheels I would be happy to take your gen 1s free of charge, I won't even charge you shipping

Your suspension was engineered for light, 17" shoes. Springs, Shocks, Bushings, Steering Rack, Power Steering pump, brakes, etc: All designed for lightweight, cast 17" 'sawblade' Gen 1 wheels. And many know G1 is heavy and clunky with cast-iron suspension vs G2.

So, you ask the question AFTER buying the heaviest wheel-tire combo ever put on a Viper!

You have just abandoned your Air Jordan Viper Shoes and plan to run a years-long marathon in STEEL-TOED-COMBAT BOOTS. Your Viper's ankles and knees and hips will curse you.

They fit fine,

Thats my grizzled opinion.

Gen IIIs look great! I have the same setup on my '93. No, the gap does not look bad. 3rd year on our car with no problems.
