Question Wheels for Chevy S10

My friend wants to put 15" wheels on his '87 S10. He knows that 15x6 wheels will work, but he'd really like to go with 15x7's. Does anyone know if he would have any clearance or steering issues using the wider rims and tires? Any feedback would be appreciated. TIA...

We had 15 inch Rally IIs on my dad's 86 s10. I believe they were 15 x 7 but that was ten years ago so I can't swear to it. No problems with the fit.

If you're talking 2WD, I commonly see them running 15x7 and 15x8 Corvette style Rally wheels around here.
My son had an '88 S10 4x4 and the positive offset requirements for the front were an issue.

2WD or 4WD???? 15x7's will work on either. Depending on tire size....15x8 will work too.

I ran '95 TA 16x8's on my old S10 4WD with 255/70/16's. No issues. It's all about the backspacing.
