offset

does anyone know what the offset for a 1989 s-10 blazer would be or if the American eagle 077 18x8's will fit?

If it is a 2WD then those rims will stick way out on the front! A 4X4 or Sy/Ty rear axle is 4 inches wider than the 2WD S-10. So the offset on the rear is 2 inches more. The fronts are another 2 inches wider on each side than the rear's are. I think GM was drunk when they designed these trucks. They should have just made the rear end another 4 inches wider and put discs breaks on it! Oh well, I guess they left that for us to do? Then you could just buy 4 FWD rims all with the same offset and not have to screw around and dismount the tires for every other rotation.
