need experts on wheels - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hi guys, Sadly I only know enough to cost me extra money, so hopefully someone can help me identify if these wheels will fit my 72 Blazer 4X4. The guy selling them simply says that they are 16" MB wheels 6 lug and they came off his tahoe. I don't know what I need to ask to make sure they will fit. All I know is the 6 lug 5.5? If you can help me ask the right questions, it would be greatly appreciated. I couldn't find these exact one's on the internet, so I've asked him for the model instead of just the MB brand, hopefully I can get some specs from the net if I can find them.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks
Ken

without seeing a picture, it would be hard to say if they would fit. If they were on a tahoe, I will say they are going to be 95% of the time, unable to work on your blazer. Backspacing is typically the issue, and also the hub hole not being large enough to fit the lock outs through.

Thanks for the quick response. I tried adding the picture, but I guess shutterfly does not work the same as photo bucket. I got the model from the owner and they are MB 72. the specs are 16X8.5 6-139.7mm / 6-5.5 with about an inch of backspacing. (25 MM)

As far as how big the center hole is it does not mention it. I think my best plan may be to go down to the local dealer and talk to them, or hopefully try one

Hopefully this picture will work
