Need help on picking out some wheels thinking 20's or 22's maybe mix it up with 24's rear 22's up front I look at http://www.prowheels.net/ those jet v look nice what do you guys think ? thanks

Nice looking ride you have there. What are the prices on those wheels? 20x8 on the front and a 22x10 on the back is sweet. You will to have to lower it a lot so it won't look like a 4x4 if you go with big wheels. Good luck with you choice and I like the ones you said.

20/22 combo looks good on these trucks but I'll have to agree with Jkade, you will need to get the stance right first otherwise you will have the same response as the blue Blazer from Goodguys thread. The nicest craftsmanship in the world will be lost in a vehicle with the wrong profile.

No advice from me on the wheels, but welcome and that is one GREAT looking Blazer!

Your Blazer looks great. It's come a long way... 20/22 is the only way to go. I wish I had done 22s out back, but I'll get by with 20s

Agreed. You don't want it looking like this:

Chevyman63 · 10-17-2007, 10:29 PM

No advise here either, I'm into the 4x4's.

That is one sweet Blazer though.

Welcome from Michigan!

You have come to the right place for advice. As far as wheels I'm happy with my 20s (they are huge, you'll see when you pick them up the first time). I agree with everyone about it being dropped though, the lower the better.

Great blazer too!

Nice looking ride. Those wheels look like Intro knock-offs. I've always liked the look of the Intro Vista & Twisted Vista on 2wd Blazers.

earl87gta · 10-18-2007, 02:15 AM

From East TN Good looking blazer. I like the wheels onit now. But 20 are cool to. time to bag it and get it closer to the ground.

Nice ride

Bouncy is not kidding on those Jet V looking like Intro Wheels knock-offs:

I have the 20" Intro Pentia's on my rig. I would go any bigger then 22 inches, unless you like the donk look.

ColoradoK5 · 10-18-2007, 08:20 AM

Nice ride! Good Luck on your choice.

**Yukon Jack** · 10-18-2007, 09:46 AM

Welcome to the board - great looking Blazer!
