Wheels?
 
I was wondering if anyone who had done an 1947-55 s-10 frame swap had used Corvette C5 wheels, I'm not sure if they would look cheesey or if the backspacing would even work? If so could I see a pic. Kind of a specific request I know.

Corvette C4-C6 wheels are offset a long ways to clear the big brakes and independent suspensions. The S-10 is already a little narrow for an AD truck, and these wheels would just make it worse.

I don't know if anyone has tried it or not, but I would assume you would need to run Corvette suspension to make it work.

Thanks for the info. I've been trying to look up the offset but couldn't find anything. I'm betting your exactly right though.
