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.

Re: Wheels?
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.

Re: Wheels?
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.
