Help w/wheel selection...?

I found some wheels I would really like to put on my 91 T/A, but the offset is for 4th gens. Is their a way I can make this work? Spacers? Do they make a rim like this for 3rd gens? Here's the wheels & info:

Thanks!

The web site you are looking for to get spacers is www.skulte.com. That is where I got mine. Been a ton of posts about fitting 4th gen wheels to 3rd gens so if that doesn't get you ther just run a search. Good luck!

Thanks for the help. It seems the wheel situation kind of sucks for 3rd gens. To spend $350 for a billet set before even purchasing rims..that's getting up there for cost of wheels. I may just settle for ready-made bolt-ons. I do have to get the thing painted this month too...

Yeah it does kind of stink for wheels for a third gen. Most people end up going with something that they have seen before so you end up with cars that pretty much look the same. I am guilty there too! I got a great deal on my rims and let them sit till I had the spacers but not everyone can do that.
