i've seen 17x11s on the back of 3rd gens...they look nice.
just have to get the right backspacing/offset. offhand i don't know what it is the the 3rd gens.

9.5" with a 5.5 backspace is the most common and requires no mods. 10" with a 6-6.125 backspace works well too. Additional backspacing requires hammering the inner fenderwells and cutting off the bump stops. Lots of guys run 11" rears, but IMO, they stick out too far. Lots of good info at thirdgen.org.
