Please pardon my ignorance, I'm sure this has been asked before but I have a stock 96 4DR that has seen better days and I am considering swapping the teardrops for the chrome covered rims on my stock '99 sport. Anything I should be aware of? Calipers, spacing? Or is this a straight swap out? I am not planning on driving my 96 anymore but I would like to keep the teardrops/sawblades before I put her out to pasture. I find the sawblades to be much nicer IMHO and easier to clean than the chrome covered ones.

I pesonally made a swap from 15" gen2 to 16" gen3 rims, but noticed that my upper control arm was rubbing the sidewall. This forced me to use 1" spacers.

As far as I know, gen2 to gen2 rims you shouldn't have any problems.
