Yes, they will work... no spacers / modifications needed. Speedo might be off if you are going with taller rubber.

I had 10 Spoke GEN 3 wheels on my GEN1 and they fit perfect NO mods and look amazing. Its a great upgrade.

Bolted Gen 3 wheels right on my 97 GTS with new Michelin PS2s. The rear tires are one size larger for Gen 3, 345 -vs- 335, but there are no clearance issues.

We all have a favorite wheel upgrade so the perfect set of wheels is up to many opinions and preferences but the one thing I feel we all agree on is GET RID OF THE GEN 1 and Gen 2 STOCKERS! (ACR is an exception)

SWEET! & Thanks Ryan, for posting the pics. The price for the 6 spokes is definitely sweet right now.

You know, I didn't really mind the oem's, if they would have had the rears in 19's I would have probably stayed with them. I had to put at least 19's in the rear so I decided to go with the 5 spokes.

That is an AWESOME looking GTS especially with the side pipes and NO H spokes. Great lake background too. Well done !!If you're going to do it, do it up right...5 SPOKES!

My 17" stockers seemed to small for the cavernous rear wheel well. The Gen 3 19" rears really update the look. Wheel designs will always be debated, which is a good thing because all the cars would look the same if things were not mixed up a bit. I would post pics but I am not getting the process right and can only figure out how to get pics in my album.

Is it the 6-spoke or the 5-spoke that's the 2nd lightest Viper wheel after the ACR wheels?

Honestly I saw a pic of a red gts w/ the 10 spokes and that it looked good. But... I have noticed the 6 spokes are pretty cheap right now and the five spokes do look great too. Decisions decisions.

Get on the phone now, as Viper Parts of America has rims stacked to the ceiling in their warehouse (lots of 5-spokes, many already have tires on them also). They will surely be going quickly, but no problem putting Gen III or Gen IV rims , as everyone has mentioned.
