I have cheap 16" Tahoe wheels for sale in the classifieds. They will work perfect for that tire.

yep...blue is a mind reader. ill probably end up with the pacer wheels in the end. where did you order them from lance? if you did it again would you go with a deeper offset?

Somebody on here took a set of rock crawlers, cut out the center and rewelded it for whatever offset he wanted. Came out pretty good from what I remember and tucked a 10" wheel nicely.

those MT 15x8s i had with slicks weighed a mere 36 pounds
more info on the S10 caliber swap. do you have any pics of this? was this the only option for they D10 15x10s?

there 02 calipers, cause of the banjo bolt being on top of the stock calipers it wouldnt work, the s10 cali's are on the back side which gives the 6.5 bs enough room to tuck.

i'll post pics later once i mount the bogarts, and post the part numbers

are the s10 2wd caliber or a 4wd caliber? is it a direct bolt on? still use truck pads or use S10 pads?
