lowjoe thats a pretty good analogy, pretty funny. but you came a bit late and your statement is not true. Belltech has said the spindle is out more then stock, makes sense in a wider track means more stability, just wish i knew this before buying them to save a bit of work. oh well as far as the offset, its right, it 10mm like other people have said.

as far as the racing wheels they might be clean when washed thats bout it. i know bout fwd on s10's mine had them and they tucked! matter of fact matt i still have them for sale if you want an upgrade.

i'd say my s10 looks better for many reasons, but lets just bury this topic.

is the half inch that you say they stick out cuz of the spindles really gonna be enuf to tuck them nicely? i think you still need the right offset..and thats TOTALLY up to the buyer of the wheel to make sure they work..NOT the seller

why would you not buy racing wheels....racing wheels = less weight, which = better acceleration and better braking, which also = better mpg, oh that also = ease of balancing...so screw your bling bling and throw me some race

i want to thank built 2 drag and cody bennent for their knowledge of belltech spindles size compared to stock. this has helped greatly. also i want to appologizing for thinking the wheel was wrong, it was an honest mistake when the seller modifies the wheel to fit your app, makes you think thats the problem 1st. also i have learned that if i want to put racing wheels on my truck i'll talk to matt.

while you're at it why not throw out the back seat and carpet?

well lets just say i'm crossing my fingers. if not then i guess my lesson is learned, i wont take the advice of "pros" on their products. got lucky three times, guess my luck ran out.

Im guessing your tryin to say "throw out" the back seat and carpet...although that would help reduce the weight of the overall vehicle...its not necessary b/c the vehicle is designed from the factory to handle its weight and the capacity of persons in it...now it is not designed to handle all of the rolling mass of big heavy wheels..that is why companys make 6 and 8 piston calipers and 14"+ rotors for trucks...when you go from a factory 50lb tire and wheel to a 100lb tire and wheel w/o increased braking you make things dangerous for all of those around you....so if you buy lightweight wheels and tires THAT YOU HAVE MEASURED TO KNOW THEY WILL FIT...then you make the world a somewhat safer place from ignorance like yours

yea thats what i meant... what a retard i am for miss spelling! 6-8 caliper pistons? never heard of such a thing, that seems nuts. but dont worry your self or anyone on the road. my brakes have been upgraded to handle the wheels. so you can sleep well at night. oh also if you add an APC sticker that give you better launch, just incase you wanted to help yours out.
