* Bolt Pattern (PCD): This is the number of lug nuts and the diameter of the circle they form. S10s had different bolt patterns depending on the year. You must find the bolt pattern for your S10 and ensure it matches the Tribute rims.
* Wheel Diameter: The diameter of the rim itself (e.g., 15", 16", 17"). While you can often go slightly larger or smaller, extreme differences can cause problems with tire clearance and speedometer accuracy.
* Wheel Offset: This is the distance between the mounting surface of the wheel and the centerline of the wheel. Incorrect offset can cause rubbing against suspension components or the body.
* Backspacing: Related to offset, this is the distance from the mounting surface to the inner lip of the wheel. It also affects clearance.
* Center Bore: The size of the hole in the center of the wheel that fits over the hub. This needs to be the correct size for your S10.
In short: You cannot simply say "Tribute rims." You need to find the specifications (bolt pattern, diameter, offset, backspacing, and center bore) for both the rims and your specific S10 to determine compatibility. A local tire shop or online wheel compatibility calculator can help you verify fitment once you have the specifications.
