S10 Wheels - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I'm looking for some smoothies to fit my 1996 Chevy S10 4WD

My truck has 15x7 5x 4.75 6" backspacing wheels on it that came stock.

I am looking for some smoothies with those dimensions but they are hard to find.

I found some that are the exact same but have only 4" backspacing. I don't believe they will work.

Could I maybe go 15x8 and have 5" backspacing? Or what would work without it getting any wider?

Thanks in advance guys!

you can run wheels with 3.5 backspace if you wanted to.

3.5 is the least I would go on an s10s backspace.
I have 15x8.5 cragars on mine with 3.5 backspace-no rubbing or anything-and they stick out nice, look bad ass!

mine is an 82, but s10 wheel specs are the same---

I have 2 sets of S-10 wheels for sell. I have the stock wheels and a set of Xtreme wheels. I have 5 each with tires on all of them but one Xtreme spare.

I have this set with all the hardware to go with them.

I have all the hardware for these too!

So could I run 2wd s10 wheels on there with only 4" backspace? Just don't want there to be any rubbing as mine is a 4wd with 6 " backspace. Thanks for your help!
