depends on how far you need to move it. the bolt pattern is the same but they are going to sit inside of the wheel wells quite a bit because of the different backspacing and will rub on everything, not sure if they will even go on. If you need to move it 10 feet you might make it work, but I wouldn't drive it anywhere.

I dont think they will even bolt on in front. I recall trying it once and the steering knuckle interfered with the rim.

To make this work you need like 2" spacers. Without them the tires will hit the inner fender well on the rear and the suspension components on the front, like the steering arm (knuckle) where your tie rod connects and the shock strut.

If you only have to move it 10 feet, drive it on the flat tire.

You must have a friend with an s-10 blazer or pickup or an older camaro, or at least a spare that would fit. Surely someone you know would have one. If you still have it the spacesaver spare out of your 4th gen would work.
