Default bolt pattern conversion?

hey guys im sick of how limited i am with wheel options, so im looking into swapping out my hubs and rear axles.

question is, what can i do in the front? I have 4x4 and i definetly want to keep it--would a 4x4 silverado's hubs fit in the s10 knuckles? also, i know they'dd prolly need to be shortened, but would silverado rear axles fit in the bearings and rear differential properly?

thanks alot [8D]

The easiest option is to buy spacers. Spacers will push the wheels out some, and they can change the bolt pattern.

I just saw "American Racings" van( local warehouse here) with 6 lugs, but it was a late 90's model.......looked great but Im scratching my head on it for the blazer.

yea im really trying to get away from spacers--I have 1.25' up front and 2' out back right now on each side---problem is they're blot centric no hub centric--they make my truck bounce like crazy above about 70km....

plus i can get the axles cheap and it'll be real easy to find silverado front end parts around here for cheap too. i just need to know if they would fit at all.....
