I have access to some draglites with tires but only the one's for the front. If anyone has a couple of 15x8's or 15x10's that would fit an S10, let me know.

be careful on how wide you get them.... maybe some 15x7s and 255/60s (like my rears) will fit better than the 295/50s... with that much drop and the fleetside bed youre gonna have a hard time tucking them without a lot of backspace.

Maybe you can become the new tire guinea pig around here, Ive tried out plenty, its someone else's turn

true.... eventually you'll run into the leaf springs too though... If you end up ordering rims, I'd do lots of measuring.

Honestly, i'll get the widest that will fit under stock metal. Anyone know what will fit? I've got about 4 inches or so drop in the rear...
