15x10 help?!

O.k. so here's the story.

Around christmas, my dad purchased some 15x10 wheels off an 85-93 square body s10, to put on my 91 RS

If my measurements are right, the bs is about 4"...tires are 245/60r15

Is there anything I can do? I love the way they look on the car, but according to my dad the front rubs too much when turning (yes, i'm a beginning car enthusiast, so any help is appreciated)

Sell them and buy the correct offset. Put them on the car and measure with a tape how much more inward you need. Pull the rim off the car and measure the backspacing then add the extra distance you measured.

Those will not work.

Re: 15x10 help?!

That's what I was afraid of...

There's a guy driving around my town in a 94 s10, with a set exactly like them but they're 7" on front and 8" on back...i've tried to talk him into 2 of mine for 2 of his but I never heard from him

If I could find a narrower set, i'd buy them but i've looked all over the internet and can't find these wheels anywhere

Thanks for the help

Re: 15x10 help?!

Yea, I'm sort of in the same boat. I have AR Outlaw 15x10s on the rear but they stick out a little too much, and with my lowering kit the fender bottoms on the tire. Problem is, I like them too much and am too cheap to change. :P

Re: 15x10 help?!

well, the rear is fine with these...it sticks out but it's not too much and doesn't rub...the only problem I ran into was on the front...rubs a good bit turning either way, and it sticks out just enough to where any small bumps cause it to rub the fender on top

Now I just need to find someone living near me to buy them, or if anyone here can point me in the direction of a website or other source that I could find a 7" or 8" wide set that would be amazing

Re: 15x10 help?!

That's what i'd like to do, but I can't even find what the wheels are called to look for them

All I know is that they WERE mfg'd by Ultra, according to the center caps lol

Anyone have an idea of what they're called, or where to look for a narrow set? Me and my car will love you forever lol

Edit: If no-one knows, I guess i'll be investing in a set of slot-mags as a secondary option
