front tire thought;;;

2O5 7O's or 215 6O's/7O's around that size should look 0K, l have 2O5 6O 15 BF goodrich t/a's on a 6 inch center set wheels, remember l have a mid 7O's camaro/nova sub frame & mine is close to the outer wheelwell edge so l had to roll the inner fender lip to clear but l like the tires tucked up tight.

your'e S-1O chassis may have a little bit different width hub to hub and
measuring several times may seem like a pain but in the end it helps screwing up,--not that l have ever done that:rolleyes:.

what center set and wheel are ya gonna run[S

later :cool:
 
rear

l used the stock frame on the rear and a 1973 camaro 12 bolt, with this setup using 1O inch wheels with 4 inch backspacing l got a 295 5O 15 that is 12 inches wide under the rear fenders, tight, only about 1/4 inch clearence, but hey looks great tucked up tight. did l mention l like it tight:D

however, using the S1O frame your'e results may vary[P[P[P

Later:cool:
 
Not sure what tires and rims I'm gonna run Skull. Just went back and looked at your wheels. I like your setup. Need a rear tire I can smoke with a slant 6. :cool

Cut out the wheel wells. Set the box sides in place for a look. Will need a bigger cut for wheel travel.

Got a couple more photos. Appreciate the encouragement to section the frame Joe. Glad I did.

Not sure about the wheel center set either Skull. I think your sub frame has a wider track than the S10.

Started cutting rust out of the box corners. Using the metal from the wheel arch cut outs to make fill in pieces. The bottom corner on the driver side will be more work.

Got the box tubing for $100 Torchie. It's 1.25 inch and 1/8 thick. Made rear bed frame mounts. Made one side out of the sectioned frame piece. Found some nice box metal to do the other side. Found more S10 bolts to attach it with. Went to the farm and rounded up the 4 lower box extensions. Looks much better with them installed. So I got a little rust..
