Default some updates/a ? on wheels

well my question about the wheels is, my father is going to change the wheels on his hawk, and giving me his m/t et drags, with a 17" stock firehawk rim, will this rim (factory for 00' hawk) fit on my truck?(01' s10), otherwise, here are the pics!

Default Yes...

They are the same 4 3/4" bolt pattern anyways. Will the slicks mounted up on the rims fit in the rear...?...Well, you'd have to mount one up to see for sure. Gar

You're very likely to need spacers. The 4th Gen F-body uses very high positive offset. These fit fine on 4wd S10s, but not on 2wd's.

I think you're going to need about 2" worth of spacers, but that's just a guess.


I've got a set of 4 18" x 9.5" C5 "Wagon" wheels (4 rears) to go on my Bravada. I'm sure they're going to need spacers front and rear, since they've got like a 65mm offset.

I just picked up an 8.5 10 bolt w/disc brakes from a 4x4 blazer fro $350 SCORE!(after looking for 6 months).I'm hoping that with the extra width (about 4inches) my 17x9 ss wheels will bolt right up and then run spacers up front.

You should be right in the range you need to be in, width-wise.

Only took you 6 months to find an 8.5" 10-bolt for reasonable money? Thats a good thing. Most guys seem to think they're made from unobtanium.
