Factory wheel for a 72 Blazer
I have a set of factory 6 bolt rims from a 70 2wd Pickup, will they work on a 4x4 Blazer.
And.... Will 31 x10.5 tires fit on these rims without rubbing. Thanks |

Re: Factory wheel for a 72 Blazer
I believe drum and disc brake wheels are different from factory.

Re: Factory wheel for a 72 Blazer
Hmm good point. I was just worried about the hub opening in the front.

Re: Factory wheel for a 72 Blazer
The centers are all the same.The disc wheels will go on drums but not visa-versa,IIRC.

Re: Factory wheel for a 72 Blazer
These are the wheels I have now, not how sure how wide they are. I would just rather get rid of these and get stock ones. I thought I saw somewhere 6" wheels would work with 31x10.5 but I guess that chart proves me wrong. Does this mean I have to get new rubber in order to run stock wheels? Another thing I am not a fan of with the current wheels is the crap spray up the side of the truck from them.

Re: Factory wheel for a 72 Blazer
FYI, the chart I posted above is from BF Goodrich.
The mid '70s to mid '80s GM 4x4 trucks had 6" wide wheels, but this still isn't wide enough for a 31x10.50R15. You could go with 7" or 8" GM rally wheels or styled wheels (white spokes) to give a "factory look" (not original for our trucks but nice looking). I suppose you could even run full factory wheel covers on them if you wanted. One of the board members here I believe has 8" plain steel wheels, but I've never seen a set of these in person.
