How to Read Wheel Offset & Measurements
Use these two references before ordering: the left diagram shows where each spec (PCD, center bore, offset, width and diameter) is measured on the wheel; the right diagram shows how positive, zero and negative offset shift the wheel face relative to the hub centerline.
ANKUSI Engineering Expert Advice
Payload and towing figures on a truck are engineered around a specific unsprung mass budget at each corner. Forging lets ANKUSI hit the factory strength rating for the Chevrolet S-10 at a lower rotational weight than an equivalent cast wheel, which is the more meaningful upgrade on a work-capable platform than diameter alone.
The Chevrolet S-10 runs a 5x120.65 bolt pattern, 70.3mm center bore, and a 15x7.0J, front and rear, wheel from the factory. Our Flush Fitment reference is 17x8.5J ET40, which tucks the tire under the fender lip on a stock-height Chevrolet S-10. Our Maximum Aggressive reference is 18x9.0J ET35 — beyond that offset, expect rubbing against the inner fender liner under compression without further trimming.
Chevrolet S-10 OE Wheel Specs
The 1999 Chevrolet S-10 (Pickup) uses a 5x120.65 bolt pattern with a 70.3mm center bore. Factory wheels are 15x7.0J F/R.
Why the factory spec works for most owners:
- Supports higher payload and towing capacity
- Preserves ground clearance for towing, hauling and light off-road use
- Matches tire sizing commonly available for this class of vehicle
- Maintains clearance for the factory suspension and brake package
ANKUSI builds these wheels — we are the forging factory, not a reseller. For the Chevrolet S-10 (1999) we drill the 5x120.65 pattern and cut the centre bore to 70.3mm on our own CNC line, so the wheel hub-centres on the car with no spacer rings, in whatever diameter, width and offset you specify.
Converting these ET figures to backspacing? Use the wheel offset and backspacing calculator.
The figures on this page are part of our open wheel fitment dataset — 10,093 vehicles, free to download, CC BY 4.0.
Offset & Backspacing Reference
Backspacing is calculated as wheel width (in) ÷ 2 + offset (mm) ÷ 25.4 + 0.5 (flange allowance):
- OE: 15x7.0J ET50 → ~5.97″ backspacing
- Flush: 17x8.5J ET40 → ~6.32″ backspacing
- Max: 18x9.0J ET35 → ~6.38″ backspacing
A Note on Clearance
Final clearance depends on the exact tire model, suspension height, brake package, alignment and vehicle tolerances. A physical test fit is recommended before production.
Want to check a different width or offset before you order? Use our Offset & Backspacing Calculator to solve the numbers yourself, or looking for your exact Chevrolet spec, or want a wheel built to a custom offset for your Chevrolet S-10? Contact ANKUSI with your bolt pattern and offset target and we will confirm the correct forged wheel spec for your build.
Frequently Asked Questions
What bolt pattern (PCD) does the Chevrolet S-10 use?
The 1999 Chevrolet S-10 uses a 5x120.65 bolt pattern.
How many lug bolts does the Chevrolet S-10 use?
The Chevrolet S-10 uses a 5-lug bolt pattern (5x120.65), so you need a 5-lug forged wheel to bolt straight on.
What is the center bore size on the Chevrolet S-10?
The Chevrolet S-10's center bore is 70.3mm. If an aftermarket wheel has a larger center bore than this, hub-centric rings are recommended so the wheel centers on the hub itself rather than relying on the lug bolts alone.
What size are the factory (stock) wheels on the Chevrolet S-10?
Factory wheels on the Chevrolet S-10 are 15x7.0J F/R.
What is the biggest wheel size I can fit on my Chevrolet S-10 without rubbing?
The most aggressive fitment we recommend without fender work is 18x9.0J at ET35 offset. Going beyond this typically causes rubbing under compression unless you roll the fenders or add camber correction.
What does a flush wheel fitment look like on the Chevrolet S-10?
For a flush look with minimal to no rubbing, we recommend 17x8.5J at ET40 offset as a starting point on a stock or mildly lowered Chevrolet S-10.
Do I need wheel spacers for my Chevrolet S-10?
No. ANKUSI forges each wheel to your exact target offset, including the flush or max specs above, so you get the correct fitment without stacking spacers. Spacers are typically only used to push out an existing OE-offset wheel without replacing it, which isn't necessary when you're ordering a custom-offset forged wheel.
How do I calculate wheel backspacing for my Chevrolet S-10?
Backspacing (in inches) = wheel width (in) ÷ 2 + offset (mm) ÷ 25.4 + 0.5 (flange allowance). For example, the flush spec above works out to roughly 6.32" of backspacing.
What's the difference between wheel offset and backspacing?
Offset is the distance in millimeters from the wheel's true centerline to its mounting face (positive offset pulls the wheel in, negative pushes it out). Backspacing is the distance in inches from the mounting face to the back edge of the wheel barrel. They describe the same fitment from two different reference points, which is why ANKUSI lists both above — some shops and tuning guides quote offset, others quote backspacing.
Can I run staggered wheels (different sizes front and rear) on my Chevrolet S-10?
The Chevrolet S-10 runs the same wheel size front and rear from the factory, so staggered fitment is not required. ANKUSI can still forge a staggered set (wider rear) on request if you want a more aggressive stance.
Wheel Installation Reference: Torque, Thread & TPMS
Thread & Fastener: M12x1.5, conical-seat lug nut.
Factory Torque Spec: 136 Nm (100 ft-lb). Covers most Chevrolet passenger cars and crossovers on M12 studs.
TPMS: Vehicles built before the 2008 model year were not federally required to carry factory TPMS in the US, though many manufacturers adopted it earlier; verify whether your specific build has TPMS before ordering sensor-compatible wheels.
Tire Pressure: Always set tire pressure to the value on your vehicle's tire placard (driver's doorjamb or glovebox), not the max PSI printed on the tire sidewall — this is trim- and tire-size-specific and stays the same reference point when you switch to a different wheel and tire combination.
Reference data compiled from published OEM service specifications and cross-checked against independent repair sources; always confirm against your owner's manual or door-jamb placard before installation.
