Re: Blazer on 26" wheels

Clean Blazer... looks like it has 22 or 24" on the front. Needs more rubber in my opinion.

Very nice. I'd hate to drive that thing on city streets and meet a pot-hole.

Re: Blazer on 26" wheels

Threads like this are why I decided not to post any pictures of my trucks.
Way too many negative comments.
The owner of this truck has obviously put in alot of time/money to build a truck the way he likes it.
I personally love it! I also love the bone stock originals and everything in between.
How boring would this hobby be if we all built the same truck?
Anyways, sorry about the rant. Not trying to troll, just a little irritated.

wheels are really subjective but this truck was super detailed inside and out whoever built it spent alot of time and money on it it was surrounded by people allday long

Re: Blazer on 26" wheels

Love this blazer, wheels......I like the style of rim ans they even fit the wheel openings, but to drive it I would be nervous, still cool looking and looks like alot of time and effort. if it had torque thrust 2's or coys on it in any size under 20's there wouldn't be any negative comments....it would look like every other resto though
