Hey guys will these rims fit on my 97 4wd.http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...RK%3AMEWA%3AIT

 

Well, the bolt pattern of our blazers is 5x4.75" (5x120.65mm). Backspacing should be 6" on a 15x7 rim found on the 4wds and the offset is +50mm (1.97").

Take a look at this pdf file: Selecting Rims

One difference is the OD of the tire, which matches the OD of a 235/75R15 at 29" OD, but most 4x4 blazers came with 235/70R15 at 28" OD. The next is that you are going from a 7" wide rim to an 8.5" and a ~9.25" wide tire to a 10" wide tire. So you are 3/4" wider per side on the rim. With the 42mm offset (again from the center of the rim), the backspacing will actually be ~6.4".

All considered, I don't think you would have a problem with them. The only other thing that I would be worried about is that those rims look like they have a WIDE open hub center. This is so that they can fit on a wide variety of vehicles. The problem with that is that you are going from a hub centric rim (one that uses the center protrusion of the hub to carry the weight of the vehicle) to a lug centric rim (one that carries all of the weight of the vehicle on the 5 lugs). A hub centric design is a much stronger design than a lug centric one, but so long as you aren't doing any road course racing or offroading with these rims, you shouldn't have any trouble.

 

They Should..... But On My Offset Is +35mm..... But Mines Also A 2001... And If Your Just Lookin @ The Rims I'd Go For It Caue The Tire Are Gone Looking At The Penny Trick.......Cause My Toyos W Abot 600 Miles The Tread Gos To Lincons Chin And You Can Almost So The Bottom Of The Penny.....But Thats Just My 2 Cents

 

What do you think of the thread too? To me it look like 90 %

 

I think you meant to say tread and that is what Dan was talking about as well. The tires are generally shot if you can see all of Abe's hair. They are only a few mm away from being shot. Might get you a summer...

 

If That.......My Toyo's Have About 600 Miles And If Anything The Tread Was At His Nose When I Got Them I've Never Really Looked....Also I Have Heard That Toyos Wear Pretty Quick...... But They're Handle Great I Must Say

 

Yeah, I have heard the same. That's the trade off with sticky tires. They wear quick.

 

But Sooooo Worth It....LOL, I Can Take Corners Sooo Much Faster .... I Think Whe I Got Mine They Said Maybe 30 Tho.....But I Only Use Mine In Summer Soo They Should Last A Few Years
