That is the required thickness for the fronts.

For the rear, the wheels will fit with maybe a slight bending of the exhaust muffler heat shield, but they will sit pretty far in the wheel well.

If your really serious about them I know somebody that has the required spacers to accomplish the job. He had a 2nd gen and was going to put 3rd gen wheels on his car. He had special spacers made for just that job. Nice work out of solid metal. He decided to quit racing his 2nd gen and race his 3rd.

If you interested let me know and I can put you in touch with each other.
