S-10 rims question

Do rims from 93-03 S-10 rims bolt up to our cars without any spacers? I know they are a 5 lug pattern. I was thinking this would give us a lot more custom wheel choices since that bodystle of S-10 is really popular in the aftermarket. I saw '98 S-10 at the dragstrip last night with some nice chrome rims and made me wonder if those would bolt right up to my Trans Am. Also, anyone have any pictures of S-10 rims on a f-body?

The bolt pattern is the same. The back spacing is a "hair" less on the s10, so they would stick out a tad more.

The problem is the center hub. the camaro center hub is more (bigger) then the one on the s10. Or atleast on a z it is, not sure on an rs.

They have to be 2wd S-10 wheels I believe. 4wd S-10 wheels are a different offset. At least that is what I remember reading.

I too had a set of aftermarket S-10 wheels on my car for a while.
Wasn't too pretty,

Third gen's have the same backspacing as 82-up 2wd S-series.

Fourth gen's have the same backspacing of 4wd s-series.

just to clear this up...

82-97 s-series 2wd wheels will bolt right on...
98-present require the center hole to be opened up just a little

all the s-series 4x4 wheels require adapters just like 4th gen wheels...

later,
Chris

I have a set of S-10 X-treme rims on my '91 RS. They fit perfectly and they do give it a more custom look. I've never seen them on another Camaro around here.
