2000 Boring Blazer Build

Impala and C1500 both won't work, different bolt patterns. The Impala wheel is just a steelie so you could find a steel wheel but the issue would be the center cap. Finding a center cap to fit would probably be difficult.
You could always try to find some of those bushwacker flares on ebay or something.

Here is the $600+ lesson that I learned. Do not put a rear main seal in on an engine stand. after about 800 miles I started noticing oil puddles under my blazer, and oil all over the pan. Basically the rear main seal turned sort of inside out. So here are some pictures my mechanic sent me.

So I finally decided on my wheels. I wanted to run a set of 16" camaro or fire bird wheels since the offset is close to the stock 4x4 wheels. I found a set of wheels about 1.5 hours from here for $100 which is a pretty good deal. I was going to go get them last night. However on Thursday I got a call back from a junkyard that is about 20 minutes away. The owner said he was out of town but he still had a set of fire bird wheels for $100. After I talked to him for a little bit it turns out he lives close to me so he said he would drop the wheels off at my house on Monday evening. So I got the wheels I really wanted, delivered for $100!
here are the wheels I almost bought. I like them, but I like the fire bird ones more.
Here are the ones I am getting (not an actual picture, I just pulled this off Google images).

So these
showed up at my house last night.
The clear coat is peeling and they are filthy, but good otherwise. The tires are shot, but they are too small anyway. All I need to do is clean them up and re clear them. One of them has some minor rash that needs to be repainted. For $100 I think it was a pretty good deal.
