Trying to find some new wheels
I been looking around for used wheels. The problem I'm having is that most of the people sells the wheels don't list the bolt pattern. They say 5 lug bolt pattern or 5 lug universal. How do i find the right wheels to fit my truck?
Whoa now, he has a 4wd drive blazer listed, and that's a whole nother can o' worms.
If you have a 2wd, then yes what 84blazerS10 is right.
But if you have a 4wd like in your sig suggests. You need to look for wheels with 6 inches of backspace. Other wise they will stick out from the wheel well. Wheels from a 2wd will bolt on, but where the backspace on those wheels is only 4 inch, they will stick out 2 inches further than the factory 4wd rims do.
94 and newer camaro (except the newest model, they changed lug pattern), firebird, trans am and corvette wheels will bolt up and have the same lug pattern. I have 94 camaro wheels on my 92 4wd and they sit in the wheel well just like the stockers did. Also you can run BMW wheels. But they are a 5x120 lug pattern. The blazer is a 5x120.65. Not much diffrence but some people have problems with it.
Just thought I'd let you know about the backspace thing. I made the mistake of buying 22's made for a 2wd and tried mounting them on my 4wd. Couldn't turn the wheel more than quarter turn before tires were rubbing. And that's with the fender flares removed. Just don't want you to make the same mistake I did.

Yeah its 4wd, didn't know about the backspace. I want to do the 3" body lift so i want to find some wheels to put 31's on and something that doesn't rub on full lock. In the body lift thread it said that 31's fit with stock wheels but rubs on full lock. Don't really want to buy new wheels when i might be able to get a good set for half the price. plus will be going off road so don't want to mess up new wheels lol.

Really? I thought I read that they changed the lug pattern on the new models. Man that's cool to know, not like we can afford the wheels off one or anything though, lol. But the 21 inch optional wheels would look good on a lowered blazer though...
Xtreeme, there isn't much you can do about rubbing frame/sway bar. You could get wheels with less backspace. But they will rub fender and you'd have to trim/ cut them to clear. Also make sure you don't have exposed tread laws in your state. Some states require the tire to be covered by the fender or a flare. You could find out with the new rims and tires where you rub, and put a little bit of weld/solder so it won't let you steer all the way to lock. Or run a slight spacer to give you more room. I planning on getting a inch spacer for the front and 1.5 inch in the back.

ok just found these wheels they look good just want to know if they will fit with no problems, and if i can A/T to fit them? i do plan on doing a body lift and tbar crank with shackles. if they can fit now with nice tires on them ill use them, but if i need to raise it up before then i might get and hold till i get a chance to do the lift.
