S10s & spacers - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Is there anyone out there running an S10 frame under their truck and not using wheel spacers in the front? I'm curious if there are any mods (control arm lengthening, or spindle conversions) out there. Also, is there a good looking wheel you can run without the need for spacers. Thanks, and pics help!

I'm running Cragars up front with 2 1/2 inch backspacing and no spacers. I think it looks very close.

That does look really good! Do you know what size your wheels are? 15x7 with a 2.5 all around? Thanks for posting

Ive got a 20x8.5 on the front and a 22x10 on the rear. No spacers needed. I Added bigger brakes on the front and it pushed them out a tad but still works good. I can steer it pretty low. the last pic is before I put the bigger brakes on it.

I really like the look of those big wheels, but I want to keep this truck comfortable. So I think 17's or 18's would be as big as I could go without sacrificing ride quality (not enough sidewall). Your truck is looking killer by the way
