Thumbs up 96 Blazer 4X4 on 2WD wheels!!

I like the look it goes good w the tires..
They stick out about 1" in the rear and about 2" up front.

*This is the same blazer that was lowered w the 3" belltech drop kit and
The same that had the OEM 16" firebird wheels*

Were the firebird rims the ones on the bird in the back? If they were are they chrome and do you have pics of them while they were on the blazer? I'm just wondering cause I'm picking up a set of firebird wheels like that with tires for $100 to go on my 2002 4x4 Blazer and wanted see what it would look like.

Those look pretty good. I'm thinking of putting 235/70/R16 tires on the set im getting that way they should be the same size as the stock wheels and tires. Do you know if I'd have any problems or should that all work. Your new wheels look good btw, if I had the money I'd go and get me something like that.

Thanks guys

Yup thats the right size tire for a 16" rim.. but it all depends on the offset and backspacing of the wheels ur getting.

make sure the rims fit ur s10 proplery and you should have no problems bud.

Alright, I was hoping that would be the right size. The rims I'm getting are the same ones you have on your car as my friend is taking them off his firebird since he got new rims. I had read that the 4th gen fbody wheels work on the 4x4's with no problems it was only the 2wd that you needed spacers. I figured those would be worth it to get rid of these curbed and rusty stockers.

Also does anyone have any experience with the General Grabber UHP tires or Pirelli Scorpion ATR's? I'm debating between the two and would like to save the money and get the UHP's but if they are gonna be bad tires I'd be willing to splurge the little bit to get the Pirelli's.

So it's lifted now right? You went from lowered to lifted? If so, kudos. It looks 100 million x better. Love the first pic, the 2wd rims and tires look bad ***. Very clean too!

Ya got sick of the lowered ride quality-- suckd.

No its not lifted I js put it back to stock height, tbars we're tightened a lil extra so it sits a lil higher that's why.

For the wheels and tires I found em locally for dirt cheap I couldn't say no!
