3rd Gen Wheels on 98' 12v ?'s

[Texas Cowboy]

My dad gave me a set of 3rd Gen wheels. I tried them on the front and no issues. I however did not think to try them on the rear. I want to buy new tires for the wheels for when I go home on R&R so I can bolt them up and head to the BD event in Denton. Since I did not try the rears for clearnce I'm asking if anyone has had issues with them on 98' 12v with Dana 70 rear? Thanks

I have 3rd gen steelys on my 95 with no problems it has a 70.

Thanks. I had read a rumor that the rear drums would need grinding with the polished wheels. Just wanted to make sure before I order tires and have them sent to the house.

they'll fit just fine

The polished 01' , 02' wheels are 16" the 3rd gens are 17" so no need to grind.

No worries, its all been done... fit right on and look better

The aluminum's 16"s from a second gen wont fit over 94-99s and some 2000s without grinding on the drum. The 17's from 3rd gens fit just fine. Ive run both steel and aluminum 3rds with no issues other than the studs being a little short for some people on the aluminum ones.
