I have a 1952 chevy car and i put a s10 4x4 rear in. I just got the tires back on it last night and drop it on the ground just to find out that my tires are rubbing my u bolts? These are not the factory wheels can anyone tell me what size wheels and offset i need to run also this is a pretty big tire 235/75-15 or at least i think it is. Are people running the s10 rear end with the s10 rear lower plate under the spring or something different?
A Few Facts About Wheels Here are a few measurements you will need before you buy wheels for your rod. Wheel Diameter Wheel Width Back Space (also consider tire bulge) Front Space (also consider tire bulge) Bolt Pattern Center Bore Diameter In addition to the above measurements, it is recommended that you check the clearance on your existing wheels. Areas to check are; Outside fender clearance Inside frame, fender braces and bumper brackets Suspension and Steering components (turn wheels with steering lock to lock) This should give you the info you need to plan the OFFSET you need to get for your wheels, (not all offsets are possible depending on where the drop ends up). Draw it out on a diagram, and it wont hurt your head so much.
