Looking for some information on what steel rims will fit a 99 Blazer. I like the stock aluminum ones that are on mine, and since I live in the Great White North with all the wonderful salt they put on the roads, I would like to keep them as good as possible. Do I need to buy specific rims for a Blazer/Jimmy or will other GM rims fit?

Thanks in advance.

 

if its 4x4 your stock size is 15x7 with a 6 inch backspacing. the bolt pattern is 5 on 4 3/4 i believe. Rims similar in size to this should fit just fine. If it is a 2wd then i believe rims off of s-10's and actually camaros will fit it. They are interchangeable like the rims on ford rangers and mustangs. I think you can get stock replacement steel rims for a 4x4 s10 or sonoma for like $60 each that will fit. I have a buddy who did what you are wanting to do with his sonoma 4x4. Not too expensive. . .

 

I should have said it was a 4X4. Silly Q but what is backspacing and how is it measured?

 

Its measured from the backside (twords the inside of the vehicle) of the wheel to the mounting surface where it mounts to the hub.

 

Thanks

 

To measure backspacing for a wheel you need to measure from the mounting surface to the inside bead edge of the rim. for the S-10 4x4 it should be 6".
