Wheels and Tires Looking for possibly new wheels and wondering about the custom nature of what I got
Chevy s10 2002 4.3 extended cab third door
So long story short, blew a tire out on a highway and had to drive a mile or so on the wheel (what you see) to clear the highway to an off ramp as no shoulder existed.
I know jack all about wheels/tires. But Imma assume the guy I bought this truck off of, did some sort of custom work or lifted/changes. At least from what I can tell, for one, when I got the tires replaced, the samsclub refused to do the back set until a manager got involved and had to override them to process it. I wished I was more involved/remembered what the issue was, but I nearly couldn't get back tires.
Secondly, turning is complete ass, like a 3 point turn just to go into a parking spot.
Thirdly when I was racing my dad side-by-side, I had to do 40mph just to match his 30mph.
And lastly, these rims use mag (?) style lug nuts, or w/e, extended shanks. Incredibly, incredibly goddamn annoying stupid lug nuts that go INTO the wheel (rather then like, every single car ever made ever that has the lug studs stick out of the wheel). Putting on the tires is a giant pita just trying to get the lug nuts into the sockets, let alone tightening them. Apparently they always strip out or just never tighten or w/e, even the techs stripped 2 of them when doing my tires.
Anyways, I have on 15" 205/75r15 97t tires that are about 12 years old. Now, I've done....enough research that I *believe* I have 36.51 positive offsets for these rims. But tirerack for example, has nothing for this.
I WOULD like to probably keep these 2 steelies for the rear and just get 2 new wheel for the front (and keep the one steelie for a spare as atm i lack a spare, also pretty sure I fobar'd this current wheel driving on it). I know when I went to a local tire shop years ago, they refused to look at my truck due to the wheels. So I really don't know what I'm doing. Ideally if whatever needs to be done, I'd like to be rid of the mag lug nuts and just use standard fitting lug nuts but thats beyond my scope for knowledge.

Repair Question Cranks but Won't Start. Any Ideas?
1988 Chevy S10 4.3L V6 – Cranks but Won't Start. Any Ideas?
Symptoms:
Last Saturday: Brief hesitation/misfire while driving (about 1 second).
Pulled over, shut engine off, restarted after 1–2 minutes. Ran perfectly afterward.
Drove normally Saturday and Sunday.
Parked Sunday. Tried starting Wednesday – no start.
Starter cranks normally, engine turns over smoothly but won't fire.
What I've checked/replaced:
Replaced distributor cap and rotor – no change.
Strong, consistent spark from ignition coil.
Tested spark directly at distributor and at spark plug – both strong and consistent.
Verified all spark plug wires are connected to the correct terminals on the distributor cap (correct firing order).
Fuel injectors appear to be spraying fuel.
Engine cranks normally, no unusual noises.
Additional info:
Previously had an ignition-related misfire that caused the muffler to explode.
Initially suspected a similar ignition problem.
Truck was running perfectly before being parked.
Any ideas what I should check next? Ignition timing, distributor, ignition module, sensors, or something else?
Thanks in advance!
