Jason here. I spent 9 years in the Army as a parachute rigger. Ive been all over Europe and Ive spent my time in Korea, too. I did have around 5 years at Ft. Bragg, in our great state of NC, also. Married with 2 kids, a 6 year old boy and a 20 month old little girl.

I have a black 2004 Blazer, base model, 5 speed, lowered 3" all around. Only mods so far is a drop in K&N. I just bought some ZR1 rims, so I found this site looking for what size spacers I need for the rims to work. If I have read correctly, 2 1/4" is a minimum, and 2 1/2" is preferred? I need to know quickly, as there are several on ebay that I am looking at, and want to get these rims on ASAP.

welcome to the show, from Canada.



is your truck 2WD? i'm guessing yes, since you've lowered it 3".

you'll need 2" spacers if it is 2WD, otherwise, they bolt right up to the 4WD trucks.

*** you need to be carefull about front & rear Vette wheels though

if you get all front's, it's better. rears have more off-set, & are wider (clearance issues).

Very nice, Street Scene SS GenII front bumper would look great on that truck.

Thanks. I've pretty much narrowed it down to that bumper. Hopefully I can get that done over he summer sometime. And add an SS ram air hood too.
