What compatible GM OEM wheels are you guys using on your S10/S15 trucks?

 

I've seen pics of some of these trucks with Camaro wheels, etc.  I'd like to see what GM wheels I could find locally or online that would work with an '89 S15 2WD.

Keep in mind, any of those trucks you see with different rims has had alot of modifications to do so. Gm used 4.75 bolt pattern on the hubs for S10, Impala, and the Cobalt platforms. Camaro's I believe are closer to the 4.5 bolt pattern. They are usually a 16 to 17 inch rim size. 

  All the 4.75 bolt patterns were 15 and 16 inch rims. The easiest way some do it is with spacers that offset your bolt pattern. I know guys who wanted thier jeep rims on the S10, and used spacer to create the 4.5 bolt pattern required. Spacers work, but under alot of torque, or load, the tend to break. They are usually forged out of aluminum of a composite metal. 

  I am running 33's on my stock 15 inch rims. Not utilizing spacers, and have 6 inch lift..

I Have 1985 Iroc-Z Wheels on My 1995 s10. 16X8 I have 1.5" Spacers on the Rear, Only to locate the Wheels outboard due to the Camaro wider rear axle and offset on the Wheel. The Only "Problem" I have is I cannot "Rotate" the tires like normal because the wheels are Labeled Front and Rear and will not fit if swapped.

Other than that I have no Issues, Of Course My 2.2 probably doesn't put out enough torque to Hurt the rear axle.

Found them on CL. they were a little rough so I Polished them and then painted the recess black. I did clear them with a "wheel" clear and now they look like poop!

I Re-Read your Post and Forgot that you are working on a First Gen. these wheels should still work as the 5 lug pattern is the same for all s10's.

Mine had the original steel 15x7 wheels so 16x8 was not a big deal. I have seen 1st gens with 15" and 16" wheels all over the place.

I think you would be fine with 15x8, or 16x8. any bigger might might take some mods. Mine is lowered 2" with spindles in front only. I did put a blazer front sway bar in it, and ZQ8 Shocks, It handles a whole Bunch Better.

I Like factory wheels that's why I bought the Irocs. aftermarket has plenty of choices.

      Fred was in the fertilized egg business. He had several hundred young pullets, and ten roosters to fertilize the eggs He kept records, and any rooster not performing went into the soup pot and was replaced. This took a lot of time, so he bought some tiny bells and attached them to his roosters. Each bell had a different tone, so he could tell from a distance, which rooster was performing. Now, he could sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report by just listening to the bells. Fred's favourite rooster, old Butch, was a very fine specimen, but this morning he noticed old Butch's bell hadn't rung at all! When he went to investigate, he saw the other roosters were busy chasing pullets, bells-a-ringing, but the pullets, hearing the roosters coming, would run for cover. To Fred's amazement, old Butch had his bell in his beak, so it couldn't ring. He'd sneak up on a pullet, do his job and walk on to the next one. Fred was so proud of old Butch, he entered him in the City Show and he became an overnight sensation among the judges. The result was the judges not only awarded old Butch the "No Bell Piece Prize," but they also awarded him the "Pulletsurprise" as well. Clearly old Butch was a politician in the making. Who else but a politician could figure out how to win two of the most coveted awards on our planet by being the best at sneaking up on the unsuspecting populace and screwing them when they weren't paying attention. Vote carefully in the next election, you can't always hear the bells.

      High Country Suburban build confirmation

      By 3CarSeatDad · Posted

      Can someone confirm if the GM order workbench terminal is able to validate a custom build sequence:   1) Initialize the Allocation Base: Open a new vehicle build queue, select the 2026 Chevrolet Suburban 4WD, and pick the High Country (3LZ Preferred Equipment Group).   2) Select the Diesel Powertrain: Go directly to the engine configuration screen and choose RPO code LZ0 (3.0L Duramax Turbo-Diesel). Ensure it maps to the MHS 10-speed automatic transmission.   3) Deploy the Seating Swap: Navigate to the Interior Options screen and enter RPO code ATT to replace the standard captain's chairs with the power-release 60/40 bench seat. Because you are not trying to force a separate luxury or air-suspension bundle, the standard, premium D07 Fixed Floor Console remains active. The system will accept this change immediately without triggering a warning message.   3)Apply Heavy-Duty Hauling Capability: Input RPO code NHT (Max Trailering Package). The commercial terminal will automatically bundle the required trailering hardware and software modules to support the diesel engine's maximum towing capacity.   5) Layer the Premium Tech and Glass: Separately add code C3U (Panoramic Power Sunroof) and code UKL (Super Cruise) to the order screen.   6) Run the Final Validation: Click the "Validate Order" button at the bottom of the interface.

      Looking at ordering a '26 WT because I want a std cab, std bed

      Spent the last hour or 2 googling and reading up on the spacer thing. I don't like the loss of thread contact on the slip on spacers, but it appears you can get "extended" lug nuts that reach into the hole of the wheel to get back the lost threads. Looks like the only true hubcentric slip on spacers are at least .375". I'd want as little as I could get away with and don't want to cause other clearance issues going any thicker. Bora seems to offer what appears to be a well made .375" spacer and extended lug nuts. I searched here and did find a couple threads recommending Bora. But not cheap. By the time I buy spacers and lugs, new TPMS sensors, then pay a tire shop to install the new sensors, I suspect I'm going to be in over $400. Thinking about running out and getting some washers to put behind the wheel to see if .375" is enough to clear calipers, turn lock to lock without rubbing, and to see if the wheels/tires look strange pushed out a little. This would just be to check fitment.

      Road Master Active Suspension

      By Core-Lokt · Posted

      Roadmaster makes some quality parts; I have their sway bar. I considered the RAS, but I ended up bagging. I didn't know what kind of ride I'd get with RAS, and the bags have interior jounce bumpers, so I can run 0 pounds pressure. I figured I'd have the best of normal suspension ride with assist on-demand. But it seems you got pretty much the same in one item.
