do you want 17s or 18s
same rim all around or wider in back smaller in front
how low will it be or you are keeping it a stock height?

 

[teddy99525]

i was looking to stay at 16 or go 17

 

[Kalgor]

do at least 17s.

but IMHO 18s look the best on S-10s. to each his own though.

teddy get the 17x8 front 4.5 bs and rear 17x9.5 rear 5.5 bs

tires 245 45 17 front rear 275 40 17. rims and tires with locks are 1500 bucks

now if you go with the bfg 245 45 17 and 285 40 17 kdws the tires are like 650 buttt man they look real good. also the bfg tires run wider and a 285 40 17 is pretty close to your stock size so speedo will be right on.

I'd do 17's w/a 45 series Profile (ex. 245/45ZR17) So you don't need to reprogram your computer. if you change the height of the wheel and tire, your speedometer will change.

 

[98 SS ON NOS]

stock tires is 235 55 16 which is 26.1 inches tall
245 45 17 is 25.7 inches tall
275 40 17 is 25.7 also
285 40 17 is 25.9 tall

dont matter what size is on front just rear
