Hey guys, I'm new here from Northeast Ohio. I just picked up my first Blazer, a 2000 4dr 4wd with zero rust and 82,000 miles. Runs fantastic. I actually really like it.

I am having problems with all 4 rims leaking around the beads. I'm guessing corrosion? I don't like the style of them anyway so I'm curious as to what wheels from the factory will fit the 4wd blazers with no mods. Just bolt on and go? I've seen Camaro wheels but heard the hub center had to be machined to fit the hubs. I'd rather not have to worry about machining. What works?

Thanks!

Welcome. Nice purchase, under 100k and no rust. I'm sure you'll find someone here who can help with the wheels/rims question.

Thank you. It belonged to an older gentleman who unfortunately passed. Picked it up for $2500.

Also I just picked up a set of early/mid 80s camaro rims for my blazer for my summer rims... they are direct bolt on no machining.

C4-c6 Corvette wheels are a direct swap to a 4x4. Some most c5 and c6 wheels come with different size front and rear wheels though, so you'll need to run all 4 fronts, or all 4 rears.

Trans am, firebird, and older Camaro wheels are the same bolt pattern, however some have more offset and may rub the fenders

The underside looks great! I just coated everything with fluidfilm. Inside the rockers, doors, quarters, hatch, under the hood, etc. Hoping to keep it nice.
