where did you get the spacers? i love the corvette rims and see them on craigslist all the time but can't fit them with the backspacing differences.

Cool

Man I think you have done a great job. Hay is that the Augusta canal in the back ground of some of those pictures. Also a nice choice on those rims

I got them off Ebay, here's the one's I have on the rear.
There hubcentric, which places the weight on the hubs instead of the lugs, but they will NOT work on the front of 98+ Blazers.

To run Corvette / Camaro / Trans Am wheels, you'll need 2.25 or 2.5" for the back and 2 or 2.25" for the front for them to set even with the body.

For the front I'm running these.

5x4.75 Wheel Spacers - Set of 2 - 1" Thick - Brand New!!!! 5 x 4.75 12x1.5 Studs | eBay

Haven't had any problems with em, doesn't shake or anything and I've had it up to about 80-85mph on the interstate, been on for about two months now.

Thanks man, I really love it and can't wait to do more to it.
Yes sir, that's the canal, back when you could still drive back there.

nice, i have a local company who does wheel spacers for decently cheap so i'll probably hit them up this spring when i can actually put rims on my truck since winter is coming and the salt will just thrash the wheels and i don't want to do that to nice rims. stocks can take the hit again

That is something that I'm working on right now is getting stock rims. I have purchased a second set of 22's for the rims I have now, Ebay. But I would like a set of stock rims also thats the dis advantage of buying a truck with rims already on it

Yah' That would be a great idea, then I would have for spare tires threw out the summer, and another set during the winter. That would be the best route.

i love the 2 door. never owned a 4 door in my life. I was actually looking at Z06 rims for my ZR2 for summer rims and keep the 31's for the winter and off road. Def should have waited man, I had a 98 ls 5 spd with the g80 I picked up for $2600 before I sodl it and got my ZR2

I love the wheels and the color of your truck, looks really clean inside to. You have a sharp looking ride there.
