New Updated Rim/Tire Fitment For S Trucks

NORCAL SS · 06-25-2003, 02:00 AM

This chart is made from the experiences I have with the trucks I lowered and put tires on and that still look good not to much wheel well space. Also tire sizes are what I and customers thought looked best on the rims. Not all people might agree on this but most of those who I have helped will agree this chart is fine.

CHART IS FOR S10S/SONOMAS BLAZERS 2WD ONLY HERE

Well this is a chart that should work and help you guys out 6 7 drop and bags here we go. THIS CHART IS FOR THOSE WHO USED SPINDLES AND SPRINGS. THE SPINDLES MOVE THE FRONT TIRE OUT 1/2 INCH.

18x7 4 inch bs 225 35 18<-bend rims easy but wil lay, 225 40 18 215 40 18

18x8 will rub bad and at full turn. but you are bagged so a 225 40 18 will work 235 40 18 will rub bad when laid out.

When you want to lay frame anything above a 25 inch tire you will have problems in the front on the fenderwells. You will lay hard on the fenderwells with anything over 25 inches.
20x8 4.5 bs 245 35 20 <--will be fine once lifted up but you will sit on the wells when bagged out

rear bagged
17x8 4.5 bs 245 40 17 235 40 17 245 45 17

18x9.5 5.5 bs 275 35 18, 285 35 18
TALLER THAN A 26.5 TALL TIRE WILL RUB THE TOP OF THE REAR FENDERS IN THE REAR IF YOU ARE RUNNING A 2.5 C NOTCH OR MORE.

IF YOU GUYS WANT ME TO ADD MORE SIZES ASK AWAY AND ILL CHANGE THE SPECS.

FOR THE FIRST GEN YOU HAVE TO RUN 18X7 IN FRONT 4 INCH BS 17X8 HIT TIE ROD ENDS. if you run 17x8 will hit the tie rod ends.if you do get 17s then go 17x7 not 8. ALSO IN REAR IVE DONE A FEW 17X8 WITH 255 45 17 OR 18X8 4.5 BS 255 45 18 NO PROBS THE 18X9.5 WITH 275 35 18 AND 5.5 BS WORKED GOOD

THE PRE 97 BLAZERS ARE ABOUT THE SAME AS THE 94 UP S10S BUT THE 98 UP TOTALLY DIFFERENT

On ours we have a 5.5/7 drop and with 255 40 19 rubs at full turn on 19x8 and 4.5 bs but its fine other than that. The rear i tested my 19x10 5.5 bs and 295 35 19 no probs

lowandclean · 06-25-2003, 10:21 AM

what would you suggest on a 98+ bagged... i was lookin at 18x8.5 in front and 20x8.5 in back... what tire sizes? and im also using djm spindles instead of the belltechs, i heard the djm spindles dont push out your wheel like the belltechs... help plz, thanks tony

Chevy2000Xtreme · 06-28-2003, 02:56 PM

i wanna put 20's on my s10 (2000 X w/ belltech 2/3drop) and was wondering if i could just put the rims on with no problems with a 4.75 bs with 245/35/20 tires. I don't know too much about this so any helpful info would be appreciated. Thanx Brian.

MiKeZ97MiNi · 06-28-2003, 03:08 PM

will 225/55/17 up front and 275/55/17 in back with a 3/4 drop look alright i have to go with 55 series tire just want the race look and all. Would that rub at all ?

NORCAL SS · 06-29-2003, 02:11 AM

chevy2000xtreme 20x8 4.75 bs 245 35 20 no prob

3/4 drop 225 55 17 in front fine rear id get 255 50 17 or 275 50 17 but 255 55 17 is really way to tall

SoLoudItHtz · 06-29-2003, 11:26 AM

How tall is the suggested 20" wheel/tire combo for front and rear?

Im going to be bagging my blazer soon and Im doing prework on the front and rear so I can lay and tuck 20s...prework meaning, front fenderwell removal, blowermotor housing sectioning, tubbing the firewall a tad, etc.

I wont be getting my 20"s for a while, so I will be running stocks. My stock rim/tire is about 25" tall. Not sure on the exact ***/** numbers, but I can get them if needed.

I was wondering the height of the 20" wheel/tire so I can get an idea of just how much I need to move things. I have a stock tire on my spare that is 28" tall. Wonder if I can let some air out of it till it sits as high as the 20" you suggest?

NORCAL SS · 06-29-2003, 08:54 PM

245 35 20 is 26.7
255 35 20 is 27

stock blazer tires are 28 inches tall
stock blazer x tires are 27 inches tall

SoLoudItHtz · 06-29-2003, 09:53 PM

I meant to say above that the stock rim is on a lo-pro tire, like 215/65 or something

but thanks though.

so, that is the height of the suggested 20" wheel/tire combo? which would be the better one the 255 or 245? Can I go smaller? just curious

NORCAL SS · 07-01-2003, 09:45 AM

255 35 20 or 245 35 20 will be fine

foedoeblaza · 07-03-2003, 01:25 PM

How tall is a 235/40/18 ?

DimeBag · 07-04-2003, 05:08 PM

tony i might be able to pick up some 18x8's for the front of my truck. i have a first gen. what backspacing would i need to completley lay out and what size tire? im not worried about driving down that low. id bring it up to drive but i want to make sure the rim and tire will completley tuck when its laid out. thanks

DimeBag · 07-04-2003, 05:13 PM

edit. also i have the chance to get 225/40 tires for them for 150 bucks. the height is 25.1 and the fenders are 24.5 if i cut into the fenders to allow them to come up more would i be good for the width of the tire? meaning can i completley tuck it inside the wheel well if i cut the fender to allow height clearance. thanks

NORCAL SS · 07-08-2003, 01:39 AM

18x8 in front wont lay on 225 40 18 i mean it will be right there but wont lay. id get 7s if possible. if you do get 8s will be close to tie rod ends. 4.5 bs willbe ok

Phillly · 07-08-2003, 01:45 AM

dumb question: what exactly is backspacing? and how can it be adjusted?

NORCAL SS · 07-09-2003, 09:12 PM

backspacing. mounting face till the rim edge on back of the rim

HAWK · 07-13-2003, 10:28 PM

hey n20 noma... im gonna be bagging my 99X and i have 2'' drop spindles and im gonna keep the stock wheels on there for a lil longer... my stock tires are 235/55/16 and i assume 4.5'' backspacing? will have any problems?

thnx Kevin

NORCAL SS · 07-16-2003, 10:32 PM

235 55 16 bagged wll rub badddddd

225 45 16 front adn 245 45 16 rear

dc395 · 07-16-2003, 11:30 PM

hmm nm i cant seem to delete this

Strange · 07-18-2003, 07:31 PM

what would you suggest for 18 x 7's all around.. with.. spindles and 1 inch springs up front and 4 inch drop in the back
scratch that and replace the size with 18 X 7.5's all the way around.

built4draggin · 07-18-2003, 07:50 PM

one question i have is, can u lay out on 20s with the wheel wells cut out, with a run of the mill bag setup? or do you have to do anything special with the front suspension so it will lay frame? thanks in advance.

SlamThaTwoFive · 07-18-2003, 07:58 PM

1st gen bagged here, I wanna run 18x7 up front, i lay now with spindles and removed inner wheel wells, what size tire should I run and still can lay, and also what BS? thanks!

o and built4draggin to lay on 20s u need to remove wheel well and tub the firewall.

benzbling · 07-20-2003, 04:08 PM

i am planning on gettin some rims after i do a 2/3 drop to my truck

i was thinkin 17x8 in front and 17x10 in back if that was possible in the back

what tire sizes do you suggest to keep it from rubbing and still have a nice but of rubber because i have to drive on some not so good roads

what is the formula again to determine the "height" of your tire.
205 65 15 ....205mm 65% of 15"..????

SlamThaTwoFive · 07-21-2003, 12:06 PM

i think it is 65% of 205 + 15"

it's best to have 7 up front, in back it doesn't matter as much as long as the backspacing is right. 7.5 will be better than 8, but 7 is best for clearence.

DimeTime · 07-21-2003, 12:20 PM

N2O, I want to lay frame when I bag my truck, I plan to get rid of the fender well. I will be running 18x8 w/235 40's for daily driving. My ? is if I get 19's, or 20's in the front is there a tire I can get that I can lay frame, and not have to tub the firewall? The 19's or 20's wouldn't be for daily driving, so it doesn't matter if the tires were too small to protect the rim. Thanks for your help in advance

thestickboy · 07-22-2003, 02:55 PM

2000 X 2" drop spindles 3" drop blocks. 17x8 wheels 4.5bs and 255 45 17 tires all around. Will it clear the front.

built4draggin · 07-24-2003, 07:46 PM

will it lay out with a body drop on 20s

DimeTime · 07-24-2003, 11:18 PM

You will have to tub the firewall, remove inner fender wells, relocate some stuff to the bed, smaller brake booster, and that jsut about gets you to the ground

F-i-Z-i-T · 07-25-2003, 01:03 AM

Is there any tire size for a 16x8 rim for a bagged truck where you dont have to remove the inner fenderwells? thank you!

will the 225-50 do that?

edward · 07-25-2003, 10:11 AM

Will 20s clear on my 2003 stock Extreme suspension? I won't be able to bag until further down the road. I'm gonna run 245/40s on a 20 x 8 wheel. I'm curious if it will bottom out when I hit a good dip and if I turn the wheel all the way will it rub.

Xtreme2k · 07-25-2003, 12:54 PM

could i get 20x8.5 on my stock xtreme? or 18x8.5?

built4draggin · 07-25-2003, 02:12 PM

thanks alot DimeTime

railn20s · 07-25-2003, 02:21 PM

my s-10 is 1988 and is set up to layout on 20's all the way around.
the wheels I ordered are 20x8 with a +50 offset, they should fit ok with a normal size adaptor, right?
becasue a guy a now said that 20x8.5 with a +45 offset was tight and he evan shortened his control arms 1/2". also another guy with a new style s-10 has 19x7.5 with +48 offset up front and a 1.3 offset. so the 20x8 with +50 should work ok, with probably like a 1.5in. adaptor or so.

Xtreme2k · 07-25-2003, 05:35 PM

this sh*ts confusing!

DimeTime · 07-25-2003, 11:06 PM

there is a tread by Avtek, I believe, thats shows the work needed to lay frame, w/o a body drop, on 20's. There is also a tread by got20's that shows the work needed to lay body on 20's. Right now I'm tired, next time I check this tread I'll search for them and post them if someone else hasn't.

YellowXtreme · 07-26-2003, 08:52 PM

This may have been asked already sorry..but i got got some 18's for my 03' Xtreme. they 18x8 Eagle 212's with a 4.5 in. backspace. What do you suggest is the best size tire for my truck if i get a 2/3 also...i don't wan't any rubbing issues, i was thinking 245/40/18 all around...is that the best way to go? Thanks

Also Anyone know where to get lug nuts for my Eagle 212's or what type i need?? Thanks.

DimeBag · 08-27-2003, 09:11 PM

tony. im gettin 20's for the back. i want 20x8 for the back, what offset would i need to lay out. i already cut everything outta my bed and all that shit. also can i get an offset that will work both up front and out back in case i decide on throwin the 20's up front and gettin 22's out back?

N2O NOMA · 08-29-2003, 01:59 AM

Hey N20 NOMA,

I've been posting everywhere trying to get my question answered. You said above that the 255 60 15 fit fine on the 15x7 stock wheel for a non-lowered S10. What I'm trying to figure out is if this size will also work on an aftermarket 15x8 wheel without rubbing.

Your help would be greatly appreciated!

bburn

N2O NOMA · 08-29-2003, 02:21 PM

yes 15x8 4.5 bs 255 60 15 is fine
that will work up to a 2/3 drop also

bburn · 08-29-2003, 02:31 PM

Thanks man, but I think I'm probably not explaining myself very well. When you say 4.5 backspacing, I'm not sure exactly what I'm looking at. I'm pretty new to this so please explain in newbie terms.

What backspacing does a stock 7" wheel have?

The 8" wide wheels I was hoping to get will have the same spacing pattern as the stock wheel only they will have an extra 1/2" inch added to each side. At least that's what I was told.

What backspacing would an 8" wheel like that have?

Thanks again!

bburn

SoLoudItHtz Dark Side Master Age: 32 Join Date: Jan 2003 Posts: 1,114 Location: Paducah, KY User is: OffLine	How tall is the suggested 20" wheel/tire combo for front and rear? Im going to be bagging my blazer soon and Im doing prework on the front and rear so I can lay and tuck 20s...prework meaning, front fenderwell removal, blowermotor housing sectioning, tubbing the firewall a tad, etc. I wont be getting my 20"s for a while, so I will be running stocks. My stock rim/tire is about 25" tall. Not sure on the exact */ numbers, but I can get them if needed. I was wondering the height of the 20" wheel/tire so I can get an idea of just how much I need to move things. I have a stock tire on my spare that is 28" tall. Wonder if I can let some air out of it till it sits as high as the 20" you suggest?

Can I go smaller? just curious

I will be running 18x8 w/235 40's for daily driving. My ? is if I get 19's, or 20's in the front is there a tire I can get that I can lay frame, and not have to tub the firewall? The 19's or 20's wouldn't be for daily driving, so it doesn't matter if the tires were too small to protect the rim. Thanks for your help in advance

There is also a tread by got20's that shows the work needed to lay body on 20's. Right now I'm tired, next time I check this tread I'll search for them and post them if someone else hasn't.
