I drove over to Vacaville after work to pickup the Supreme rims and tires. It’s not too far from work but a good distance from the Manetarium.
The wheels were in the condition the previous had disclosed. No unexpected surprises. One rim has a lot of rust that needs to be addressed, I think I’ll be able remove most of it. The rims are in very good shape. All four tires are in new condition tread wise and doesn’t have any compound hardness of being only 3 years old.
These wheels came off an early Ford Falcon build. The previous owner purchased the set thinking it would fit. Even though he was able to get them mounted the wheel wells were rubbing the outer side of the tire.
These uses a -12mm offset so this probably contributed to his issues. Also, if he was running disc brakes that may have pushed the whole wheel too far out. I’m running stock drums all the around so I figured I’d have enough clearance even with the negative offset.
I tested out rear wheel fitment and there is plenty of room at least jacked up in the air. The S10 wheel I removed is larger with a size of 205/75/15. The tire I have now are 205/70/14’s.
One note, the lug nuts I got from the owner will not work. These are for the larger Ford Falcon studs he was using. I have the stock 7/16” fine thread studs. I will need to purchase a set of lug nuts for this application.
