Wow...that is hard to follow. That must have taken one huge breath to think of and type out. A good word of advice...use punctuation next time. A . will go a long way to help people understand what you're asking. The rim size is also quite confusing. I'm not sure if you can fit 18's easily or not. Maybe with some clarification on the size and what you're asking we could give you a hand.

Really need to know the back spacing of the rim to be able to say whether they'll fit or not... Also putting your vehicle information would help...

Looks to me the bolt pattern is way off and he might be asking about some adapters? Otherwise, I'm completely lost.

You need to research the difference between "offset" and "backspacing" as they apply to wheels.
Rims are the things on the outside edge of your wheels that hold your tire in place.

Google- "difference between backspacing and offset".

Pick several and read up on it.

Try this one.

OK2, now that you understand the difference bet00ween bcpcin n offset00000000000000000000000000000

sorry, cat sat on keyboard.

Ok, now that you know the difference between backspacing and offset.
You also know that your new wheels have a different bolt pattern then the blazers. The solution to use those new wheels is an adapter, maybe. if you can find one that "fits".
How thick of an adapter depends on what you can fit. The further you push the front tire out the more likely they will rub the wheel well at full crank, (steering wheel turned all the way to one side or the other). Now oyu need to figure out how much space you have to work with, compare the new wheels backspacing+offset to the factory wheels and see how thick of an adapter you can use.


Regardless of his bad punctuation, that is no reason not to help the guy out.
