Wheel Expert Needed for 79 2wd K5 Blazer fitment
Newbie here and I need some specific offset help. I'm looking to build a "camaro SS" theme 2wd blazer. Bagged 79 K5, and I want to make the 22X10 5X4.75 +50 camaro SS replica's work. I haven't ordered anything yet but I'm curious if custom spacers will get it done, and if so what the recommended size would be, or it's going to take cutting and adjusting the axles?
The renderings I've come up with look great, now it's just figuring out how difficult and expensive it will be to make it work. |

Welcome to the forum tenminutes. I have no idea what the backspace equates to on those wheels so its hard to answer your question.

Re: Wheel Expert Needed for 79 2wd K5 Blazer fitment
My guess is you'll be using wheel spacers to get the backspacing correct. Not exactly something I'd want to do in a performance oriented truck. Or any truck I wanted to actually drive.
Anyhow, you're first problem will be redrilling your rear axles, drums and a set of front rotors for that bolt pattern. 2WD half ton trucks are 5x5 with 1/2"-20 wheel studs stock.

Re: Wheel Expert Needed for 79 2wd K5 Blazer fitment
i understand that early gm rims (eg 72 buick) rims will fit
may need to look out for that type/size
