He hasn't logged in, for over a year, going on 2. Generally speaking, guys pull Explorer rear ends for a S10 swap. Your stuck running specific wheels though, unless you narrow, and center up the rear.

I pulled mine from a late '90s 4x4. Camaro offset wheels will work but you will have to redrill for GM axles or use Mustang wheels. I drilled mine but wish I could go back and just buy Mustang wheels...drilling is a PITA.
