Which S10 wheels fit without spacers?

I have some S10 Xtreme wheels on my 87 right now. No spacers required but the fronts rub a tiny bit at full lock on the inner fender.
S10 forum says "16x8 4.5" backspacing 0 offset"
I think the S10 SS (pictures you posted) and ZQ8 wheels are the same specs as the Xtreme.

Any of the 16" S10 rims will fit with no spacers. You may (probably will) have rubbing on the front if your vehicle is lowered and still have stock upper balljoints, instead of longer ones.
I was assuming the offset was that -6.4 in the one picture, but what that translates to I don't know.
Luckily I am close to factory ride height minus some spring sag. I may go ahead and bite on these rims then. I knew there was an issue with some of the 15 inch rims fitting but I couldn't remember if the 4wd ones or the 2wd ones wouldn't fit.
4wd wheels will not fit. Backspacing is way too much. S10's had a total of three different wheel diameters. 14, 15, and 16". All 16" were 2wd only...
Edit- You say you have spring sag. If they are original springs, you probably have more sag than think. Center of the front wheel, from ground to fender lip, stock was around 27"+ a little.... if your around 26" or less, the tires may rub on the inner fender over larger bumps, dips, etc.
New front springs are on the list, but in the meantime I have coilover shocks helping things out in the front.
I may push up the schedule on springs if necessary though, as I have been putting off for a few years now.
On all 3 of the wagons I've put these on, I had to open up the center bore a little so they would fit over the hub pilot.
