X'treme Wheels On a ThirdGen?

I know one of the guys on this board has the wheels off of the S-10 X'tremes and I now have a chance to pick some up for $300 including the tires and I'm wondering what size of back spacers I will need to purchase for them if any. Thanks in advance.

I am not sure on this so I probably should not say anything but they MIGHT be a direct bolt on. I sold my old 91 RS 5 star wheels to a guy with a S10 and they were a direct fit for his truck.

Aren't they the same wheels almost? Kind like the rims they put on the S-10's and Blazers in the later years of the last model, and the 15" Z-28 wheels.

Are these the five spoke wheels with the dimples between the spokes on the rim? Clearcoated machine finish spokes and rim with gray/silver elsewhere?

I saw an S10 with these on it the other day and think they look awesome! I called the guy and he said it was a 2001 S10 with the ZQ8 option. He didn't know if ZQ8 gets the wheels, or not. I want to get a set if they'll work on my car.

You chouldn't need anything. I have friend here who has them on his T/A, and im almost positive he didn't use any spacers or anything. they look killer too, I'd get em if i were you....

the extreme wheeel sare a direct bolt on. the only thing you may have to do is take a dremel tool to the inside hub of the new wheel, I put these wheels on my silver 91z28 a while back. they lok killer on them. check them out at this website

you won't have to buy any spacer for this set of wheels they are a direct bolt on, trouble free install and fit perfect don't stick out like a pimps car

GIDDY UP 305 those aren't X'Treme wheels. they are the ZQ8 wheels that are on option on regular S10's. they are that same wheels as the 91-92 v8 (optional on v8 rs) only maros. c'mon guys get the facts straight.
