Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
So is the 5.5" BS on the rear wheels good?
Or would you change that,... if it was possible? (as in ordering billet wheels to the exact specs)

This is the kind of "wheel offset" info that helps everyone looking to buy wheels. You also took a cool wheel and made it so much better! Love your truck.

Oh. My. Goodness. If i wasn't keeping the smoothies on mine, these would definitely be the wheel of choice.

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
Looks great!! No worries on me doing these wheels. With a 10" wheel and 5.5 backspacing it doesn't look like it will fit on a bagged blazer.

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
Actually have that tread saved and refer to it alot. My issue was my blazer is converted 4wd (leafspring rear). I know that I'm going to have to raise the rear tubs and trim the sheetmetal were it mounts inner fender and bedside meet together.
I did some measuring the upper most bolt on the outside closest to the bed with a plumb bob. I measured 4.5". between that point and outside of the bed was maybe another 1.5" So it's possible, but looks to be really tight. I keep refer to you and lolife99 on wheel measurement.. I will have to take some pictures of my measurements and post them up. |

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
Looks great! Looks like the wheels tuck in more than the other picture showed. Very nice!!!

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
I probably sit and stare at your truck more than any other on these build threads....I can so see my truck looking like yours....I have all my suspension connecting points just need the drop spindles and springs now....I have been debating to put new paint on or run it as is with the faded look, but that debate is over looking at yours I just love the look...I hope you don't mind but you have some many things done to you truck, that I have put on my to do list on mine.
