New Updated Rim/Tire Fitment For S Trucks

[angrytrucker78]

I'm going to be running 20x8.5 5.5 in the front and 20x8.5 5 in the rear. 2nd gen 2wd blazer.

[dragon88]

Now i had a 17x7 coys c5 in the front with a 4inch bs and the wheel was even with the fender. I really do not wanna gut the fender bracing too much that is but 18x7 should have the same stance right? I dunno this whole thing confuses the shit outta me. Thankx for all the help guyz for real

Hey Norcal,
I have a chance to pick up a set of 18x8.5's for front, 20x8.5 rear, both +15mm - my truck is bagged and laying frame, 99 ext cab, and i dont want to cut under the hood yet - if i get them, ill probably run 235/35/18 and 245/35/20 - im sure on the 20's, but will the 18's fit, and will the tires work?

[swamp_rat]

i have a chance to get 17x8.5" rims (he says they're closer to 9" but hes not 100% sure) and the offset is 5 1/2" and they have 215/45-15 proxies (way too skinny for those rims) but they're brand new so yeah, lol..any clue on what size adapter i would need? he's agreed to let me test fit them before i buy them also

you can go with 225 45 16 in front and 245 45 16 rtear will work. Or you can go 222 50 16 front and 245 50 16 or 255 50 16 rear

So if I have a 20x8.5 with a 245/30 which is only 25.8 inches and I'm bagged in the rear with a 2.5 c-notch then I won't have to cut or tub my bed at all cuz you said anything over 26.5 inches will have problems, Right?

I have a 97 S-10, I bought some american racing wheels of a 97 monte that are 16x 8 with about 6" of backspacing. Can I make these work on my S-10. I also bought a set of 96 formula 5spoke wheels that seem to need about an inch or inch and a half spacer. What will work with either of these wheels. Whats my cheapest route? I realize i need 4.5 bs. I like the american wheels better but if the formula wheels would be cheaper I'd go that route. Does anyone have spacers for sale or adapters? PLEASE HELP. thanks, Curt

[phat jimmy]

I was just wondering if 20x8.5 will fit my 2wd 1997 jimmy. Right now it s not lowered yet but i want to lower it 4/5 or 5/6 and i want to know if it will still work and if so what rubber to use too

[Buddy08]

I got an 01' S-10. I wanna do a 3/4 on it and run 22's, is this possible? Would I have to remove the fender wells? What size tire would I have to run and what back spacing? Would I have to cut the lips on the fenders? Thanks.

[shortreddime]

So I love these wheels but I'm not positive I'm completely following. These wheels come in 20 x 8.5's with either an 18mm offset with 5 7/16ths backspacing or 30mm offset with a 5 15/16ths backspacing. And the 22's that could possibly fit on the back are 9.5 wide with an 18mm offset and 5 15/16ths backspacing. Could those 22's tuck on the back? If not, which of the 20's? And are either of those 20's tuckable on the front? What size tires would you suggest? Thanks a bunch.

[swamp_rat]

17x8 56mm offset, i know you like to work with backspacing also but this site doesnt give much info, what size spacer would be needed? 2 1/2"?

[s10on22s]

i have a 1997 s-10 bagged and body dropped i am putting 22s all around the guy at bonspeed told me that a 22x8.5 in the front with 5 bs would be the best even know i will lose a little bit on turning.. do you agree or should i go with 4.75 bs????? if you can asap i already ordered yesterday but i can call and change if needed?? thanks

if those are the mb motoring wheels from discounttire then yea they will fit, they will look sucked in about 3/4" and would most likely rub when turning full lock

sorry here they are

I have a 98 blazer and plan on dropping it 4/5 on stock wheels. So I need to run 235/70/15's up front and it won't rub correct? What size should I run out back so the tire/fender well gap will be minimal and the blazer will still be sitting even, or will I need to go down to 6" out back to achieve what I want? What about dragging the back of the frame with a drop like this? This is an awesome thread btw

[hamlin11]

I'm planning on doing a 5"/6" drop on my 94'S-10 reg.cab.Will an 18x7 up front and 19x10 around back fit?I'm puttin' American Racing Torque Thrust 2's on it.

[olivermcallen]

does anyone know if i'll need spacers for 20 in. rozzi carbons. they'll be going on a 1995 gmc jimmy. the only info i have on them is 20x8.5 with 10mm offset.

[gumby821]

I have a 2001 S-10 Ext. Cab with 2in Spindles and 1in Springs in the front and 3in leafs in the rear. Would 18x8.5" 245/40-18 front and 19x10" 285/35-19 rear work?

-i'm bagged up front with jasons cups and 2600's w/2" drop spindles... it lays kit in front right now but how close would it be when i try to lay it out on the 20's?

Stock Xtreme tires have an OD of 25.7 inches. A 245/35/20 has an OD of 26.8. I'm certain of those numbers because that is the 20" tire I run out front along with 255/35/20 out back that have an OD 27.0. My Xtreme has a 2/2 drop and this combo works well but there is some front end rubbing on tight parking lot turns.

Before you ditch your front 20 inch wheels you may wan't to consider running 245/30/R20 tires. They have an OD of 26.0 which is only a 1/4 taller than your anticipated chang to the 19' wheel.......I'm not saying they will fit either but they are close to your sizing idea with the 19' wheels.

[bladehines]

Ok well i posted a thread but maybe someone will answer it in here as well.

Will 15x8 inch wheels with 235x60 tires fit on the front with a 4inch drop? if not can i use a small spacer to clear?

and i don't know the back spacing either 3.75 or 4 i am not sure yet i will have to measure.

[swamp_rat]

ok, a buddy of mine that works at a tire shop can get me a really good deal on 20x8.5" & 20x10" both with 15mm offset..i know the will will fit with no problem, but my question is about tires, we have 255/35/20 Sumitomo HTRZ II tires laying around and theire website specs say rim widths from 8.5"-10" but would you recomend that as safe on the back? i checked prices on 265's and they're too expensive for my budget right now(but i will get them in the future). would you think they would be safe untill i can get 265/35's for the back? i dont drive like a mad man(if that helps)..any help would be appreciated

if you run 235 70 15 you will be fine with a 4/5 drop. Honestly i would do a 255 60 15 front and a 275 60 15 rear

How about 22 inch wheel width and backspacing/offset -- I've seen a lot of 22 inch wheels with 15 mm backspacing in either a 9 or 9.5 inch width wheel.... can anyone with experience shed some light on this one? I've ran 20's for years, and it's time to upgrade, since I am redoing the set-up completely in a few months. Thanks!
