I tried a search first and came up with no conclusive results, so maybe one of you know the answer.

I am considering buying a set of 2001 16x8 "S-10 Extreme" rims for my 1992 Camaro RS, but I would like to know if they fit...(I don't want them if they require wheel adapters like 4thgen wheels do..)

Thanks.

 

yes, they will.

 

NotMyBFsZ tried to put some on her Z and had some problems. If I remember right there was a lip that needed to be ground down before they fit properly. If you don't grind off the lip then the wheel wobbles real bad because it's not sitting flush.

X-Treme 92 - those look great on there!

 

Not for sure, if you have the disk brake rear you may have a problem with the back space.

 

I dont think they will fit....

 

Thanks Poppa. You are right, I had to grind that lip. But not too much and they will fit ok.

 

How/Where do you dig up a set of those anyway? Just gotta get lucky on a find, or does someplace actually sell them?

 

If you are lucky. Your brother in law will buy a new S-10 extreme and put some american racing rims on it and you get to buy the stock rims with one week of use.

 

I found a guy who wrecked his s10 blazer Xtreme and is parting it out

umm what lip is this you speak of? Is it difficult to "grind" it down?and what tools are required?

 

nah dont do that, alot of haoles on here gonna say "thats rice" cause it doesnt look like their stock fbodies.

LOL check out http://www.skulte.com he has a chart showing OE rims and the required backspacing info. Sorry if you thought I was hating on your mod. i wasnt

 

You mean the "Stock *****?" That seems to be the latest name for it.

 

I don't like those rims, but I'd love to see a thirdgen with the NEW Xtreme rims!!!

 

LOL
"hail to the F-Body!!!!!!!!!!!"

 

I think those rims would look better polished. But still reguardless what others say, those rims look great even not being polished.

 

Those rims look great on the car!
And, while I don't consider myself a "stock ****", I do appreciate a simple car with clean lines. It's when you make it all busy with mutliple colors, pinstriping and who knows what else that bothers me.

For the most part I keep my negative opinions to myself.

I'm a firm believer in "if you don't have anything to say then don't say anything at all."

Thanks Mom!

 

yeah, the ones I bought are the same style as X-treme.92's and I think they look badass...(actually the only rim I like better is the zr1/ss's but I don't want to buy spacers, and I don't really trust 'em..)

so how about grinding that lip? where is the lip, and how do I grind it down?

 

how about them 1/4" spacers? (the ones that look like washers...) couldn't I just buy some of those and put them on?

 

i love those rims, personally
prolly cuz im biased (click sig to see why)

IMO the first incarnation of the Xtreme rims looked the best.
i really dont like the newer ones with either the gold or polished accent faces
