i still find it amazing that sooooo many people don't realize that the ZR's have the same wheels.

^ you do know that alot of the wheels for FWD cars will fit as well, rght?

i picked up a set of 17" wheels from a Honda Ridgeline for my Blazer.



the Honda bolt pattern is 120mm and our truck works out to a metric size of 120.65mm. off-set was fine front & back, and they run down the highway (~130kph) without any issues.

since there are so many FWD cars over there, try taking a look @ what you have available for them.

the biggest issue anyone over here has, is trying to find wheels for a TBSS. friend of mine has one, and the only wheels that fit his truck (for the Winter) are the Saab SUV ones.

they actually look pretty good too.

I didn't realize Ridgelines were 120. Most 5-lug Hondas are 114.3

Also, nearly every BMW is a 5x120

forgot about them Bimmers. considering i knew that about 12-13 years ago when we had to move my friend's 328is after the wheels were stolen off it. guess it shows i've got too much crap stored in the hard drive. but i do know if you use the 14" stampd steel wheels, they won't clear the Bimmer's front calipers. makes for a great "line lock" for a burn-out!

yes, alot of the older cars are 114.3, but alot of the wheels are dual patterned.


now you guys are thinking outside the box.

Maximum or minimum? Stock is 6" and I've never seen anything larger (on a 15x7). There's a member here with 17x9 camaro wheels with 7" backspacing.

Clearance isn't determined solely by backspacing or wheels though. Tire size and ride height can both affect it so you have to take them all into account
