A buddy of mine let me tryout these wheels 20's up front and 22's rear
I do like em but i think I would have to lower it a bit.
Also thinking of going 22's up front and 24's rear gonna post this on our photo shop forum to see what it will look like a couple of inches lower
any thoughts ?

Big J · 06-09-2008, 09:44 PM

They look great on there. If you lowered it at all it wouldn't take but an inch or two.

bad6772 · 06-09-2008, 09:51 PM

Looks killer and agree with Big J it sure wouldnt take much.......

semperfidoordie · 06-09-2008, 10:01 PM

that's a good looking truck...I'd leave it personally

GRIMSS · 06-09-2008, 10:22 PM

Just me but I like the wheel size to match 22" and lower.

I do like that style of wheel on your blazer.

**bigdon-70blazer** · 06-09-2008, 10:28 PM

That is so cool!

Jtrux · 06-09-2008, 10:45 PM

Personally I think it looks great as is but I prefer front and back to be the same not different sized but again that's just me.

bouncytruck · 06-09-2008, 11:15 PM

I like that look, especially if you lower it (or bag it). I think 24's might be a bit much.

JOHNORO · 06-10-2008, 12:29 AM

thanks for the input
anyone have a set up with 22's all the way around ?
I would $ave a bunch by staying away from 24's
if you guys have pics that would help too

**special-K** · 06-10-2008, 06:06 AM

What wheels have you been running?Those look good.

Big J · 06-10-2008, 07:58 AM

Just to have two sets to run a set of stock rallys painted to match with chrome centers and beauty rings would look killer too...

JOHNORO · 06-10-2008, 06:49 PM

I have been after these for a long time
I am going to consider 22"s all the way around

I'd do 20's or 22's all around and a couple inch drop, but thats just me. ?

You have a fine looking blazer.

I love it. I've been thinking of putting the trim back on mine.
