Backspacing For S10 I Need Help ASAP!!!

hey guys im wanting to find an answer for this. ive asked the same question on 2 other forums and still havent gotten a clear answer.

im eyeing the centerline smoothies for my bagged 98 dime. 18x8 w/ 5.0" backspacing for the front and 20x8.5 w/ 5.4" backspacing. im wanting to know if this will bolt right up w/ out rubbing issues or will i need to run spacers. if so what size?

the 5in will work but theyre gonna be tucked up really far you could use a 1/4 space & e/t lugs to help & the 4.5 is perfect

so a 1/4" spacer would work for the front? what about the 5.4" bs for the rear, would that be too much or would i need to run a spacer there?

+10 to +20 will tuck fine on an S10 with an 8-8.5" wide rim with no spacers

i have no idea what that means. this is the first set of wheels ill be buying and i dont know much about the backspacing/offset. hell i have trouble w/ tire sizing as well.

yeh 4.5 back space is perfect front & rear.is the truck getting channeled or just bags ? you can run 225/40-18 in the front & 245/35-20 in the rear should look pretty good if its not channeled

4.5" isnt available for those wheels, only 5" for the 18x8 and 5.4" for the 20x8.5. the truck is already bagged on all 4 corners.

i was just told that sometimes its a hit or miss w/ the wheels on s10s. some have zero problems w/ the 5"bs in front and some dont clear the tie rod ends, so a 1/4" spacer would do the trick to clear. the rear could possibly use an 1/8" or 1/4" spacer as well.
