And it begins...2003 S-10 transformation

[Z06killinsbf]

Formula? Ya, jack up truck and remove factory wheel, place vette wheel in place to desired location with truck lowered to ride height, measure into hub, done.

Sawblades it is. Hopefully one of the board members shoots me a killer price.

Does anyone have any insight on figuring correct wheel adapter width? I can swap the rear end and it is a non issue, however, I don't figure I can get that done for less than $250, adapters are ~$80/pr.

Surely there is a formula that figures in track width, wheel width, and backspacing....

Sawblades.

my buddy has an explorer 8.8 sitting here at work, it would be cheap, but it will need a clutch set in the diff and i'd recommend refreshing it while it's down. PM if interested, it's in Whitesboro, TX

Pm sent. Is it a disc brake rear?

So is this "project psyclone"?

No. My intentions are a factory style v8 truck. I want ot to look factory made. GM in dash navigation, factory option wheels, leather seats, LSx, etc. The rearend is an exception. As well as a few other components not normally visible

Yeah, if I were you I would try to source an 8.8

[black2002ls]

I think you guys have me talked into them. Hopefully by the end of October the suspension is done.

Anyone happen to have some adapters laying around! lol. I can get away with no adapters in the rear by going to a 4wd rear axle. Or finding an explorer 8.8 to replace it with. The benefit to either of those is that I can get them with disc brakes. 8.8 will be beneficial when the lsjuan goes in for strength

The sawblades give it a Cyclone look in my opinion. Kind of a new edge version. I dig em.

[greenbullitt]

If matt doesn't, I have a set of sawblades too

[MattB]

Give me a day or two and I'll dig them out and take some pics. I'm honestly not 100% sure exactly what I have, but you'll have the first crack at them.

[black2002ls]

I think I have some sawblade wheels and some C5 wagon wheels. They have used-up auto-x/roadrace tires on them, but pm me your email addy and I'll take some pics and cut you a deal if you are interested.

Not a bad deal for those wheels with tires. I can't tell what size the tires are.

The kicker is that I will need adapters for them to work. 2.5" up front and 2.75 in the rear. That is what the grey truck is running.

Unless you are willing to whore those SS wheels out, I am not your buyer! The benefit of sawblades is they can be had cheap. I have always favored the ZR1's for these trucks. I felt they fit the styling best. C6 ZR1's would be bitchin I think, though they are $$$$$$
