Glad you like them Chris. I thought they looked good on my ty also but didn't want to run spacers anymore. Enjoy them.

I have a set of those too. Off a corvette. 17 front and 18 rears I think. What spacers do I need to run them.

I can honestly say that on the vette i hated these wheels, just didnt look right IMO. But on the Ty they look awesome, althought i dont care for the black wheel thing, on any color truck. Looks great other wise.

wow i didn't realize so many people had these. I thought it was a more rare wheel, since everyone seems to have the zr1s. I was going to do this:

Here is the question... How do you get the center caps to fiton the front? the axle sticks way out and the caps dont go one. Notice the black one doesnt have a cap on it either.

you can either use the 17s or the 18s... just get a set of four.

I have 275/40/18s for the Tyclone. Thats what is on the Typhoon there
Im getting 275/40/17s for the Typhoon.

They are a direct bolt on to the SyTy and all 4WD s10's, there are no spacers needed.

Also on the front, most people have taken a sawzall and cut off the extra axle shaft sticking out so that the center cap will fit.

Well yes you can run the staggered wheels, you just cant run the stock vette tire sizes, as they are a 245/45R17 front thats 25.7 and a 275/40 R18 rear thats 26.7

But you can run the stock 245/45R17 front and a 275/35R18 rear and they are both 25.7 tall, or if you wanted a slightly wider front you could run a 275/40R17 that is also 25.7 tall.

It is a common mod when switching over to the ZR1's as well. I just used a hacksaw. Great for the forearms.

True, but being a penny pincher like I am, it was cheaper for me to buy the other two 18" wheels and put on common size tires than it was to buy the tires in those oddball sizes!
