[quote=drmrman;5847208]More pics pls. That truck is gorgeous.

I have...
17x9.5 all around. 275/40/17 rubber
2.75 spacers in the front (rolled fender. No rubbing.)
2.50 spacers in the rear.

Pics.

Whoa. I saw a guy in an s10 at home depot running this same set up. I love it, goes well with an S10. Are those C5? What size options are there? 17x9.5 all around sounds great, and from what i understand I won't need spacers. Could i run 305/50/17 on these?

FouR_ThreE_Xtreme · 01-17-2009, 12:07 AM

Naa those are c4 rims. i think theyre called sawblades?

**Kampz69** · 01-17-2009, 02:53 PM

yes they are C4's like FouR_ThreE_Xtreme said. if your truck is a 2wd you will need spacers. does a 305/50/17 even exist? if so it would be pretty big for a 9.5 wheel, youd probably want a 10.5.

Yup should be looking at tires and looking for spacers within the next week/week-and-a-half.

You are completely correct, that wheel size is nonexistent. I'll have to run 275/55/17. My truck is a 4x4 so from what I read I won't need spacers but what if I up the overall height of the tires? Is there an adjustment to be made in order for the speedo to work correctly?

FouR_ThreE_Xtreme · 01-17-2009, 11:09 PM

what size tires should i go on the new rims? i was thinking factory suggestions, 235/45/17 on front and 275/40/18 on back. What do yall think?

I wanted those, but I got these waaaay cheaper

FouR_ThreE_Xtreme · 01-19-2009, 01:55 PM

Any ideas about tire sizes? 235/45/17 on front and 275/40/18 on back is OE suggestion, and it sounds like theyll work pretty well. imput?

GeorgesBlazah · 01-19-2009, 04:31 PM

Id put at least a 245 up front, I think 235 will look a lil streched out on a 8.5in wheel.

drmrman · 01-19-2009, 05:42 PM

I have a set (4) 2" spacers and (2) 2.5" spacers if any one is interested in doing a corvette rim swap!

Both sets have less then 200 miles on them and 2 of the 2" spacers were never even mounted on the truck!

PM for more details

SmokeeJay · 01-19-2009, 09:53 PM

I just bought a set of the wheels like the picture below. They are 95 corvette 17x8.5 and 17x9.5. The truck they will be going on has 2" spindles and 3" springs on front and ZQ8 leaves and 4" blocks. Will 2" spacers work on front or do I need 2.25? I have been told that I need 2.5" spacers for the rear. Another question, according to the tire size sticky, I will have to run 225/45/17 on front, but will 255/45/17 work on the rear?

Here is a smple pic of the wheels, not the actual wheels:

drmrman · 01-19-2009, 10:11 PM

I had 9.5 wide saw blades on my truck with 2.75 front spacing to clear the tie rod... But since you are running the 8.5 I dont think you will need that extra 3/4 of an inch... I think the 2" spacers should be fine... And NO you dont need 2.5 spacers in the rear... In my (above) pics Ive got the 9.5 rim with a 275 tire on a 2" spacer...

Let me know if you want the spacers

SmokeeJay · 01-19-2009, 10:20 PM

So would 2" spacers work all the way around?

GeorgesBlazah · 01-19-2009, 10:35 PM

As long as your not using drop spindles in the front.

GeorgesBlazah · 01-19-2009, 10:35 PM

NVM I just looked at you post, since you have drop spindles you need at least a 2.25.

daammmnnnn thats gonna be expensive!! lol these tires are gonna run my ass into the ground!!

good thing im gettin a fat check friday.

sonomanator · 01-20-2009, 12:07 AM

so if i get 2.5 spacers on the front when i put on my drop spindles i wont need them?

FouR_ThreE_Xtreme · 01-20-2009, 12:10 AM

You guys dont think 2.5" spacers on the front will make them stick out too far do you? Im not planning on lowering it any more and dont need to worry about tuckin them but i dont want them stickin out too far from the fender

GeorgesBlazah · 01-20-2009, 10:24 AM

I would just do 2.25 in the front. Then 2.5 in the back since the drop spindles push the front wheels out a lil. You can sorta see the uneveness in the pics I posted.

GeorgesBlazah · 01-20-2009, 10:25 AM

You need at least 2.25 to clear the drop spindles.

sonomanator · 01-20-2009, 10:28 AM

will the 2.25 work with stock spindles for now.

GeorgesBlazah · 01-20-2009, 10:37 AM

Yea i know but if i can get this set of used 2.5"s for cheap then im gonna buy em. I dont think that extra 1/4" is gonna make them poke out too far.

the speedometer can be calibrated for larger/smaller tires. a hypertech programmer can do it, as can other tuning programs. i would assume a tech2 at a dealership could do it also.

FouR_ThreE_Xtreme · 01-20-2009, 11:10 PM

Thats good to know. Theres a chevy trucks dealership right down the road and im gonna see if they can fix my speedo after i get the new rims on.

buellxb12s · 01-21-2009, 04:16 AM

hurry up and get them on lol, just leave your xtreme wheels outside, i'll drive from tn and pick them up for ya, would even leave ya swirlies for the bad weather

GreaseMonkey74 · 01-21-2009, 10:25 AM

I got a set of the sawblade rims & making a quick measurment last night I believe they are 17X10.5. My trucked is bagged & has drop spindles. I don't think they will tuck but I was gonna ask yall first. I don't want to spend the money for the adapters & they not tuck. Any help would be great.

GreaseMonkey74 · 01-21-2009, 11:32 AM

Oh yeah, the truck is a first gen s-10. I will try to get the measurments of all the rims, it was to cold so I did just one, & get the tire sizes of them to.

lol im workin on em! everything is going so slow on it tho! Cant find good spacers for shit and tryin to find tires for a decent price. Ill probably either sell or hang on to the Xtreme wheels, even tho the tires on em are shitt.

FouR_ThreE_Xtreme · 01-22-2009, 12:24 AM

Anyone get their adapters on Ebay? Cause for 67 bucks a pair for the right spacers, and free shipping, im not about to pass that up...

and

sonomanator · 01-22-2009, 12:32 AM

damn that's the cheapest ive seen them. i was about to go to the bank but i forgot its 1130 at night lol

GeorgesBlazah · 01-22-2009, 12:11 PM

I got mine from Ebay. EZaccessory was who I orderd from.

FouR_ThreE_Xtreme · 01-22-2009, 01:40 PM

I went ahead and bought the spacers from those links i gave. The guys feedback rating is outta this world so i know hes got a good product, and i wont find them for cheaper than $140 for all 4 of them brand new.

**Kampz69** · 01-22-2009, 05:02 PM

good find man, lets us know how they are.

Will do! And i got a buddy that works at a pep boys in Chicago that said hes gonna check his system to see what kind of deals he can give me on tires, since they have the buy 3, get 1 free deal

Geat · 01-23-2009, 10:07 AM

19's off of my dads car.

FouR_ThreE_Xtreme · 01-23-2009, 02:30 PM

damnit man! the cheapest tires i found are still gonna be $487! unless pep boys honors their buy 3 get one free deal with tires ordered from tirerack...idk yet

Daveman2 · 01-23-2009, 02:42 PM

Yeah the kumho's I get my C5s are 255/295s and they usually run me over $700/set. They stick like flies on sh*t though

FouR_ThreE_Xtreme · 01-24-2009, 02:38 AM

Ayyyyy so guess who is gettin tires tomorrow

The spacers are set to be here by thursday...soooo if i dont have to work on that following sunday... then im gettin RIMMED UP!!

FouR_ThreE_Xtreme · 01-24-2009, 03:54 PM

im crossin my fingers and hopin the 2.5" adapters wont stick the front rims out too much farther than 2" adapter on the back rims. From what i've seen i think theyll work, but wont know til theyre on.

GeorgesBlazah · 01-24-2009, 06:44 PM

You should be fine. The X flares stick out a lil too that will help with the look.

Im not planning on lowering it any more and dont need to worry about tuckin them but i dont want them stickin out too far from the fender

Then 2.5 in the back since the drop spindles push the front wheels out a lil. You can sorta see the uneveness in the pics I posted.

Yea i know but if i can get this set of used 2.5"s for cheap then im gonna buy em. I dont think that extra 1/4" is gonna make them poke out too far.

Is there an adjustment to be made in order for the speedo to work correctly? the speedometer can be calibrated for larger/smaller tires. a hypertech programmer can do it, as can other tuning programs. i would assume a tech2 at a dealership could do it also.
