suggestions on 16" 4x4 rims

I want to go with 16" 6 lug rims on my 72 4x4 blazer,I know the late chevy wheels wont work due to the center hole size,is there any factory 16" wheel that i could look for or what aftermarket wheel is the best deal and would bolt on.16" tires seem to be cheaper and easier to come by.Right now i have 33x12.50 15 goodyear wrangler mtr's but there shot.

Don't know about stock wheels that will work but plenty of 16" wheels can be had pretty cheap that will bolt up and look great - just depends on your style.

I used summitracing.com to widdle down the selection based on the search function they have where you can add in filters like: 16" wheel, 8" wide, 6x5.5, 3.5" BS, center bore size, etc,. Just keep filtering till you find the wheels for you.

The lip on those 16" wheels are differnt, some pros & cons to using them.

Easy to break the bead but don't go wheelin' and air down to far.

VT,

I think you're thinking of the 16.5" rims with the crappy bead. Nothing wrong with the 16"s.

I'd really like a set of factory 4x4 steel 6 lug rims. I'm thinking about having a set made. I have a perfect set of hubcaps I want to run.
