people bitch when you give them advice, then people bitch when you don't give them advice...theres no pleasing some people.
I had a similar problem with the byc arms but it had nothing to do with the offset, I ended up moding my stock lowers and it worked out, my wheels are 22x9 with no special offset and 255 30

I dont know personally about the silverstar arms but did an older blazer on 22s b/d w the suicide doors arms and worked pretty good. U r gonna get camber all the way down...one thing is make sure u have 3" drop spindles and not 2" that helps also. I will keep you informed of what i come up w!
3" drop spindles? those are for fullsizes arent they? Dont think there for an S10.
werd, no such thing as 3" s10 drop spindles.
as for the camber issue, theres nothing you can do about it without changing the mounting points on the frame and building your own arms, thats just how the geometry is set up. but i understand how the wheel is sticking past the hood, not much you can do there unless you mess with the camber but then youll be eating tires.
well MTM, i am not going to BI7ch about people's advice when it is ACTUAL advice and not someone commenting on something they have no idea about.. no need for examples, i'm sure everyone know's the kind of people i'm talking about. anyways, thank you for everyone's advice, and yes, i did measure and waited for about 6 months before purchasing wheels. if i'd of done a higher offset, the tire would be about 1/2" into the hydroboost and would look even more stupid with the truck aired up. we are in the process of bodydropping a blazer on 20's with suicidedoors arm's, so i'm interested in the camber changes between the two different arms. once again, thanks for all the help. i'd post some pics but don't know how to on forums. if someone would like to pull the pictures out of my profile, i'll upload them to it. let me know, thanks...

but see how you get good responses when you give it a little time? I wasn't trying to be an asshole man it just seemed like you were pissed off because the people that had the right answers had not seen your thread yet. It's all good though, no hard feelings

you have to use html to post pics.
You will get the same amount of geometry change on any arms. The only way to change the amount of geometry change thru the suspension travel is to change the frame mounts. Most people on the newer chevys and fords do this to cut down on camber when laid out but on the s-10 you will have steering and header issues if you raise the upper mounts. The square body s-10s have more room in the sheetmetal than the newer ones and a 22" wheel will hit the top of the fender when laying body. If you have any other questions give me a call or email me and I will be glad to help you the best I can.
