So I've got a local guy that has some and I was curious how easy this would fit under a stock GN. They are staggerd 18X9.5 rear and 17X8.5 front. The 2 1/2"spacers that come with them make them fit perfictly on the s10's. Also what tire sizes would I need to make them fit? Pics for reference attached :) Thanks

I am no suspension expert but that seems like alot of spacer and putting wheels that far outboard has to increase the stress on the wheel bearings. Maybe it will be ok but I would prefer to have proper backspacing.
 
I was a little curious about that part also... I guess the spacers would have to be pretty strong, not the cheep Chinese stuff.
 
Just tried them and even with a 2 or 2 1/2" spacer the wheels were on the frame without tires :( would need a bigger spacer to work.
