The 6"ers will fit, but there are a few issues to be
wary of.

Grille clearance - will the door shut without smashing
the grille in between the dash & door

window crank clearance - self explanatory... there are
window crank spacers that will put them out 1/2" but
most people arent willing to spend the $20 extra on
them.

If your'e willing to go the extra effort, I'd go for
the 6"ers, but if not, the 4" will get you by... just
not the range of sound you'd get from the bigger
speakers...

I have 6" in my doors.

Just because you have an opinion, doesn't mean that anyone wants to hear it
