will the wheels off of a new chevy truck work on an 85 blazer? I'm pretty sure the bolt pattern for both is 6x5.5 but am not sure if something like backspacing or hubs would be a problem...

Thanks, -Nick

nope, won't fit, the newer wheels are hub centric and the hole in the middle is too small.

thanks, so i'm guessing anything past '87 won't fit?

yeah, I tried with a wheel off our 97 suburban and they won't even fit on the rear, the holes in the middle would have to be cut out, the lug pattern is the same though. I see some 88 and 89 model truck that still had the old type rally wheels, wonder if they also use the hub centric design?
