Funny thing. I just did this today. I took the rear end out of my v6 and ganked the 8.8 out of a 95 donor car. I had to put my rear end back into the 95 in order to make it roll around and after I put it all back together it worked fine. The 17x8 stock wheels/tires didn't rub. Keep in mind, I used my 2000's rear control arms as well.
