Modern take off wheels
 

I have a 1972 4x4 k 5 and my question is will modern 17” rims fit my blazer ? I see two things to look at bolt pattern and hole diameter.

Also look at offset, which I suspect will make the swap impractical.

My blazer has modern wheels, I had to machine the center bore to size as the centerbore on modern wheels are smaller.

Good luck, Rg

as mentioned center bore will be the biggest hang up with them fitting... but you might need spacers too...

haven't taken any measurements or have any idea if anything was modified, but my 71 K20 burb with stock axles and hubs as far as I know, came with late model aluminum 8 lug wheels and all seems to clear fine..

good luck!

8 lug wheels will all work fine... is the newer 6 lug wheels that have smaller bore...

^ thank you for clarifying that! the rusty blue k1500 is 6 lug and I may need this info later ;)
