Old wheels you might have laying around?
 

I was just looking at some stockwheels that I have seen on Blazers lately and there are 2 that I would not mind having (maybe an aftermarket) so if you guys happen to have either of the 2 I show here or an aftermarket you want to get rid of for not to much lemme know (with pics please).

RE: Old wheels you might have laying around?
 

Both of the rims shown are 2wd rims...

RE: Old wheels you might have laying around?
 

so they will only fit on 2WD's? I figured a rim was a rim since I didn't have to worry about a 4WD locking hub that stuck through the rims

RE: Old wheels you might have laying around?
 

They'll bolt up, but 2wd rims have less backspacing than 4wd rims.

RE: Old wheels you might have laying around?
 

so I would basically have to add a spacing plate to make it work then? If so no thanks lol

as always thanks for the info swart

RE: Old wheels you might have laying around?
 

No... They have less backspacing than a 4wd rim. Spacers will make the issue worse. You can run them, however, the rims will stick out further and you may have trouble with the fenders if you are running or plan on running oversized tires.

RE: Old wheels you might have laying around?
 

ahh I see. I am actually planning on running 30 in tires so I guess that would be a problem. Oh, well I am doomed to find a good looking wheel that will fit properly lol.

RE: Old wheels you might have laying around?
 

i had the swirlies on my 32s and i liked them better than the 4wd rims. sticks em out a little farther

RE: Old wheels you might have laying around?
 

yeah but don't you have to worry about the tires rubbing with the "swirlies" on?

RE: Old wheels you might have laying around?
 

the only issuei had was the tires rubbing the bottom of the fender when i turned. if you're only running 30s it shouldnt be an issue theres a pic of the tires on my truck in my gallery

Yeah you would on stock ride height, but he has a 2" Body Lift and a 2" T-Bar crank. Therefore there is more clearnce between the tires and the wheel wells.

crap. forgot about that. sorry guys!

RE: Old wheels you might have laying around?
 

well let me ask you something though. If I got a 2-3 in lift do you think that would make it so that the tires would not rub?

I am planning on getting the tires anyways without the wheels or suspension lift right now (cuz winter is approaching. So I can always do the suspension and get the wheels afterwards.

Thanks for any and all info guys

anyone know a good place for a complete suspension lift.....I really don't want to do a t-bar crank

Does this look like it would be a complete kit (meaning I don't have to do a t-bar crank).

RE: Old wheels you might have laying around?
 

Looks like it still has the 'keys' to crank the t-bar...

RE: Old wheels you might have laying around?
 

All that kit is, is a glorified t-bar crank. You will still crank the t-bars up 2", but you have new upper a-arms which does nothing really, and an add a leaf in the rear. It would be better to do a 1-1.5" t-bar crank and either 1.5 or 2" shackles($80-100) or add-a-leafs (about the same as shackles, shackles will be easier though) and then if you still have clearance issues to do a 2" body lift only $200. So your total lift would be 3-3.5"Front and 3.5-4" rear plus the .5" you get from 30" tires over stock tires, or 1" from 31" tires. Therefore the total cost would be about $300-350 for more lift plus the cost of the tires. Just my opinion from my research.

hmm don't really like the idea of doing a t-bar crank at all. I have heard to many issues of where the t-bars cannot handle the extra stress (and I go offroading quite often). Would a bodylift alone (2 in.) be good enough?

RE: Old wheels you might have laying around?
 

You wouldn't get anysuspension clearance with the body lift. You will get a good looking lift and more tire clearance though.
