With the S10 being bought. Wheels are typically the first stop. Or maybe not. Everyone has differing opinions. SimI know BMW/VW etc have 5x120 wheels, and there are some I do like. However, first question has to be asked, fitting a 5x120 to a 5x120.7 hub........ surely it is not right? So the next question is mainly because I know there are wheel guys out there. What is out there in the Wheels from other makes territory? I do like 17’s as are fitted right now, and the 255/45n17’s are a remarkably comfortable ride on the truck. So I guess up to 17’s is good. Saying that, I do like Range Rover Mondials in 18” as well. Of course the problem with some of the GM wheels is that you end up with 2 inch spacers to make them work. And I think that has to put a lot of stress on hubs and bolts. Like these, and the ones in the ebay ad even more. As it currently sits on the 17’s

I found this thread to be enlightening with regard to 5x120 vs 5x120.7: www.thirdgen.org/forums/wheels-tiresIt starts off with a bunch of people drawing circles and saying they look close enough, but as you go further down you find more sceptical people with technical backgrounds explaining that it's more of a risk. Basically, you need to be confident in sufficient clearance between studs and wheel holes, and have a secure method of ensuring the wheel stays centred on the hub, and even then some people won't like it. Your mileage may vary, etc.

You can use wobble bolt's to fit jaguar/bmw wheels. 0.7mm is quite a small discrepancy, but I wouldn't want to use normal bolts and hope that it is ok.
Grizz, the Corvette wheels are pricey but I now know why. Each wheel is unique to it's position on the car. Rather than a pair of fronts/rears, they are directional and different widths front to back.

I think technically Jags used the imperial PCD like the Chevy's so should be good to go? Happy to be corrected on that though. Whether or not they'd suit the S10 stylistically, is another matter...
I think the Corvette wheels became quite popular in "the scene" over the past couple of years which has driven their price up a bit as well

I doubt I would really need all of that technology on a truck, but it may be worth getting it right, just because that’s the right way. Regarding the different widths, the Mercedes wheels I bought for the Galaxy were different as well, but I stuck 225’s on them all, and you cannot see the difference. Not sure it would be making an ounce of difference on the Galaxy tbh. Still, I now have a set of 4 new 17” tyres to find a new home for 😀

I need to see what is available out there, that is interesting looking.

Once again, this may or may not be the answer. BUT.... I do find myself drawn to this style of Range Rover Mondials. They are 18” and I have no idea if they would need spacers to sit right on the S10 and also if they would fit without fouling anything or anywhere. But I like them, and especially in this cheap and nasty gold colour which possibly is too close to the trucks own colour. So black or Silver may be better options, should it happen. Chatting to Paul Y earlier we did discuss the Merritt and possibility of getting them diamond cut, both on the star ridge and outer rim. This seller has 5, which is kinda ideal.

I think 'gold' is a very generous description of that colour. Looks more like 'metallic baby poo' to me... Anyway, in the US, Range Rover could supply this style of wheel in a chrome finish, which is... pretty American of them. According to www.wheel-size.com/size/land-rover/range-rover/1996/looks like 18x8J ET57 on a 5x120 PCD, which is a pretty big offset compared to what Chevy specified for the S10 (although who knows what offset the 17s are). www.wheel-size.com/size/chevrolet/s10/2001/.

So, assuming the Cragar offset is +13 and the stock S10 wheel (8J) offset is -6.4...
The Range Rover wheels will try to sit 63.4mm further inboard than the stock wheels, and 44mm inboard from the current Cragars.
The stock and RR hub bore is very similar, though (~70mm), so that's nice. However, the wheel spacers to make it fit would be very chunky.

There are many otber options too. Including the VW and BMW stables.

There are many other options too. Including the VW and BMW stables. Absolutely. Too chunky = not suitable for daily use. I'm sure you'll find something. In the meantime, this is a useful calculator to get an idea of what will fit and how: www.wheel-size.com/calc

Saw that earlier while searching. Interesting but not quite floaty boatyard for me. Corvette wheels, the first ones look lovely, and seen them on a pink Blazer. The previous U.K. Corvette wheels appeal more in Blade style.

As well as thinking 'outside the box' you could also think 'in the box'. The third gen Camaro folk have a pretty good looking wheel that is factory fitment on their cars. I've seen more than a few subtly modified cars that have retained the standard wheels just polished up or colour coded. Spokes not too thin and a bit of dish on them, maybe colour coded to your body work and the pick up slightly lowered, if you get the vision? Ok, maybe not.....

I think 15” though, not sure what a set would cost plu stress, compared to that set of OEM wheels I like too,

Jaguar wheels need a full restoration. If you zoooom in they are badly oxidised under the paint, so fill strip back needed. As for the Facebook offering of AC Schnitzer 18” wheels.......... they are scruffy and need some work and seem to have been refurbished before, looking at the chipped paint and some nasty kerbing rash. Probable needs at least two new tyres. I would fit them yesterdayPity they are in Wakefield, at 180 miles that is some distance to get them down here to Kent at the price.
