bryan, those look great
Here ya go with some wagon wheels-![]()
Slightly off topic and maybe a dumb question, but its been bugging me for a bit now... why do the rear tires have a different offset? is rear axle shorter in width than a normal s10 axle? On my blazer all the wheels are the same and they are in line. Is the offset difference because of the cladding and the fact the rear of our trucks are slightly wider than the front? But they want all 4 wheels flushed with the cladding? That's my guess based on my blazer. The wheels stick out slightly past the fenders in the front but on the back the fender over hangs the wheel.
Just been curious about it for a while now.
Atkonkler,
Are your C5 wheels (all 4) rears? I have a set of rears all the way around on my Typhoon and the front wheels are rubbing a little on the inside. I'm going to buy a 1/4" spacer to see if it solves the problem... do you have any insight on this? The rears will get about a 1" space so that they look propper.
Does anybody else have some info that would help me on this? I looked this thread over and did not find an exact answer so if anybody could point me to a link it would begreatly apprecieated!

A few pictures of my TY with black zr1's. 17x9.5 in front and 17x11 in rear. I'm hoping for a change next year but for now with two brand new tires in the front they will have to do.
