I have a 1950 Chevy 1/2 ton pickup. I made some modifications putting in a Chevy SB engine and a different rear axle from a 1986 Blazet 4X4 (4.11). I converted the front brakes to discs (5X4.75).

I currently have a temporary set of S10 tires on my truck and want to buy new rims. I have a few questions. Since I have the original front axle (with after-market sway bar), what offest was used? I think the original wheels had no offset (positive or negative). I do not want to change the geometry of the front end. I was thinking 15 inch rims that handle a 7 inch wide tire with a diameter 28 inches total.

Since the rear axle is a few inches narrower than the original I will have to get rims with an approximate 1 inch negative offset. I was thinking 8" wide tires and also 28 inches total tire diameter.

Any suggestions? Recommendations? I was looking at the half moon style rims.
