New Shoes for my 2wd Blazer - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

crzngmychvy · 06-16-2005, 04:09 PM

Hey guys, how about some feedback and/or pictures about a new set of wheels I'm going to buy for my 2wd Blazer.

I'm stuck between 18's and 20's, and trying to figure how low I want to take her too. Really leaning towards Torq Thrust IIs. If you all have the best BS numbers, that would help as well.

I'll be making up my mind and putting in the order next week.

What do you all think?

CHEVYE · 06-16-2005, 04:23 PM

4.5" or 5" backspace should do ya. here's a solution to the 18's or 20's ?....... 18's in front and 20's in the rear.

crzngmychvy · 06-16-2005, 05:16 PM

I wanted to get all tires/wheels same size. Don't really see the benefit of having smaller wheels up front, unless I was going extra wide in back.

nathan_454 · 06-16-2005, 07:37 PM

personally i prefer 20's but thats cuase i like the new school custom look. but its your rig bro pick what YOU like.

2wdBlazer · 06-17-2005, 08:57 AM

I say 18's. 20's look a bit big to me.

crzngmychvy · 06-17-2005, 10:51 AM

Anyone have some pics they can share with these sizes on them. Truck pics too if you have them.

thanks

Here's one for sale north of Seattle with 20's on it.

I don't know...my dad has 17x11's with 3 1/2 inch backspacing on all 4 corners of his 2wd, but if it were me I'd try to fit some 18x9.5's/10's all the way around with a stock front end (if yours is stock), I personally don't care for the big dub look with rubberband tires, especially if you actually drive that blazer frequently

Heres a blazer that was at h.a.n and it looked real good..

bouncytruck · 06-19-2005, 12:49 PM

I have a lot of photos of that truck saved to my computer (I think you posted them FrenchBlue) It was for sale a while back. If I remember right, they were asking around $35. That is one of the nicest 2wd Blazers I've seen pictures of and I would love to have something like it. I think it had 20's on all 4 corners.

That is a great looking blazer... but the wheels are a little bigger than what I want. Anyone know for sure what size they are, because they look like 22s+ to me.

Anyone have more pics of 2wds with 18s and/or 20s?

thanks!

bouncytruck · 06-20-2005, 02:47 PM

Not too sure on these. I think the black/silver one is on 20's. The black one with wires is on '22s (not my preference.) the one with the fixed half top was for sale for $95K a while back - anyone remember what size wheels it had?

bouncytruck · 06-20-2005, 02:52 PM

A few more. I believe the orange one is on 20's and the orchre one has 18's on front and 20's in back.

BabyBlue · 06-20-2005, 03:00 PM

Heres a link http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s....php3?t=154993 those are only 17's though

17's

another pic of the ochre one

bouncytruck · 06-20-2005, 03:03 PM

Here's the last one I have. Also, on 20's if I remember correct.
