Looks great. I see its in the driveway - is it drivable?

vtblazer · 11-01-2010, 06:48 AM

Is it the driveway or the blazer that's going up hill?
Maybe it's the pic...

Wheels & tires look really/really good!

Oh ya, Its my DD now. Need to get that paint on the doors matched up, but I'm having too much fun driving it.

looks good to me, but I have the same wheels, so my vote don't count

Are they 8" or 10" wide??

10's. Nice and fat. Just got to get them polished up at some point. The backs are really grimy too, but I haven't found anything other than sandpaper that'll take it off.

Most truck stops offer some type of acid wash. It will get all the goo off.

Thanks! I didn't know that. I'll have to stop by one and see if they can hook me up.

I'm pretty sure they are the 9/16 lugs J. They are original to the rig and are mag wheel locking lugs. Have to have a special tool to remove them. I'll get a close up pic and check the thread size for you tonight.

the reason I ask is because on my ralleye wheels I bought 1/2", but when the guy sent me the lug nuts for those slots, they were 7/16"

I like those rims, but I might be biased.

I think you just have good taste.

red71cheyenne · 11-02-2010, 07:39 PM

J, you were right, mine are 7/16-20 as well. I was thinking they were bigger than that, but my tap went right in there. Crappy cell phone pic of the lugnuts.
