thanks! what a roller coaster, there were actually 4 trucks in that thread, 2 AD and a couple S10 blazers too. I have tried to pare my threads down to only the relevant truck but its not working.

even though he was asking for wheels without spacers, your post is still very helpful, because if he gets an 8 inch wide wheel and gets 2.5" backspace (your 5" backspace - your 2.5" spacer = 2.5" backspace) then it will look just like yours! good info to add man!

also, its is important to point out that backspace does not translate to different wheel widths, a 9" wide wheel with 2.5" backspace will stick out an extra inch compared to an 8" wide wheel with 2.5" backspace. same backspace, different fit.
