New Updated Rim/Tire Fitment For S Trucks

[ste]

im planning on 20x8.5 on a 02 blazer. im hoping to go with a belltech 4/5 drop. im wondering what the perfect size tire is. 255/45? 245/40?

[Jazor]

Hey, I just ordered some 20x9 (panther vector rims) with 245/35/20 tires. I have a stock suspension. Should they mount right up and fit fine? The place I ordered them from (www.wheelguyz.com) told me with those tires they should fit right on there fine. Anyone able to confirm?! PLEASE HELP!

[C Mau]

will a 22 with a +15 offeset lay frame ion my dime..with ART control arms and drop spindles..i sjut wanna knwo if the rims are gonna tuck right..

[s10-V8]

i just got rims with 245/45/17 tires on em. the fronts rub, but the rim hits the lower control arm a hair. if i go spindles will it fix this? its either those or lower control arms. id much rather arms but if spindles will fix it im game

SPINDLES will make it worse. instead of rim touching tire will rub.

20x9 what offset?

[s10-V8]

im gettin stock height tubular control arms, if i get those will spindles work?. i wanan drop ti more but dont want dropped control arms.

i have 2004 pontiac gto wheels with 1 1/4 spacers

[stock2000s10]

I bought some 16x8 centerlines with a 5" backspace. I put them on before mounting any tires so I wouldn't void warranty. They're hitting my tie rod. Will some 1/2" or 3/8" spacers fix my problem? Which will be best if so? I plan on putting 235/55 or 245/50 on them don't know if that is relavent or not.

[thenephilm]

i plan on getting some 17x12s for the rear...i want as much dish as possible and im gettin the rear shortened so it doesnt matter....what offset and backspacing would give me the best result? Also, what about tires...oh, and if i cant get a 17x12, im going to settle for at least a 10 or 11...would the same backspacing work if i got these...

[RKs95BlackSS]

toying with bagging the truck. probably end up cutting fenders eventually, but how will 245/45/17 with 4.5 bs be? i already have the wheels, just need smaller tires.

[s151990]

what size tires do I get for 17x7 4"bs front, 17x9.5 5.5"bs rear. I want to keep the same outer tire diameter as my swirlies with stock tire size.

[Ryma]

Think you could add 14-15-16" to the list?

[Nate_C]

Will these rims fit on the front my 91 2wd
Rim Diameter (in): 15 in. Rim Width (in): 8.00 in. Backspacing (in): 4.250 in. Offset (mm): -6.00mm
Rears

Rim Diameter (in): 17 in. Rim Width (in): 9.00 in. Backspacing (in): 5.500 in. Offset (mm): +12.00mm

[bladehines]

ok i was looking at some 20x8.5 rims all the way around.

4/4.5 drop

what tire will fit? i was looking at 245x35x20 but it says bends rims.

[extdrag'n86]

i have a 86' s10 im getting ready to bag i have 2in belltech drop spindles for it aswell my question is will it lay on 18s sitting still without clearance issues (in front) if so what is the right size tire i should go with? i have the tubs if i have to tub the firewall but if i have to tub im going with 20''s if i go with 20''s what size would you say is good ? and what backspacing i dont want to go over 7.5-8in all the way around ?

[ChevySdyme99]

so the 98+ blazer on your first post is going to be the same with a s-10 right??

[jw850]

ive got a 97 blazer with 20's all around with 255-45-20's and dont scrub a lick with a 5-7 drop

[laydoutjimmy]

20x8 4.5 bs 245 35 20 255 35 20
20x10 5.5 bs 275 30 20, 275 35 20, 285 30 20

why are these rims 2 inches wider then each other but have only have a different back spacing of 1 inch?

because you have more space to work with in the rear than front. ive done tons of set ups like this no probs ever.

[Milky4204]

what size tire would you recomend for a 22x10 for the rear on a bagged truck?

22X10 5.5 BS 295 25 22, or 295 30 22, or 285 30 22, or 285 35 22. or 285 25 22.

what size tire are you running in the front??? what is the backspacing of the wheel?? what is the overall height you want to run. stock tires r 27.1 inches tall do you want a taller tire than stock? do you want a shorter tire than stock? Do you want some sidewal or low pros wont matter. I need to know what size yoru running in frotn so i can get you a tire that has the same amount of sidewall or more in rear. running a smaller sidewall tire in rear looks funny dont want to do that to you.

[swamp_rat]

18x8" with 20mm offset..would that rub with 245/45's?

and what about 18x9" with 18mm offset?

20x8.5 with 4.75 b.s. and 245/35/20 up front. I haven't ordered my wheels yet. I'm going to order them tomorrow. at this point I'm not worried about matching up with the stock tire height as long as my wheels/tires look good. they will be billet so I don't want to bend them by running over a twig in the road.

[swamp_rat]

doesnt offset determine backspacing? typical on a 8" rim is 0mm=4.5bs? and the 20mm adds .78 to the bs which would be 5.2" backspacing on the 8" rim...and the one with 18mm would be 5.5" backspacing wouldnt it?

if you run a 245 35 20 in front a 285 30 22 in rear will have about the same sidewall. and ive seen billet bend on 245 35 20. have you thougth about doing 20x8.5 in front and 20x10 in rear with a 295 30 20?

they wont be everyday wheels. only going to roll them to shows and meets. I have my 18's for regular driving. If I do end up bending one of them then i'll let you know that I should have listened haha. thanks for clearing that up for me.

[NORCAL SS]

18x8 with 20mm is 5.28 bs where as the 18x9 with 18mm offset would be 5.7 bs.

the front will stick in 3/4 inch more than they should and rear will also be the same 3/4 to much. they will work but looked sucked in

[swamp_rat]

so if i got 4 of the 18x8 with 20mm offset..would a 1/4" spacer fix the "sucked in" look?

it will still work no probs just see how you like the look. when i do the s10s i like to keep the tire as close to the fenderlip as possible without it touching.

[93_chevy_s10]

I have a 93 std. cab short box s10 with a 4/5 drop and a 350/th350 i was wonerding if I could run a 15x10 rim on the back with a 295/50/15?? and what the B/S would be
