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

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.

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. |

Please post up pics of your measurements and let me know when you do- I'd be more than happy to help you get the wheels you want mounted up on that sweet Blazer, so I can live vicariously through you ![]()

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
Crappy backdrop, but I had to capitalize on what small amount of daylight I had access to. I need bigger brakes- and to re-align my fender trim...

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
Sounds pretty much like everything I've done or am going to do. A dropmember is on the way along with all the other goodies.. (that stuff will go on it if it doesn't sell. If it does there is a certain crewcab I'm looking at)
I think I might order one of the showwheels and see how it mounts up in the back. Worst case I'm out $200. Thanks for all the help. Your truck looks awesome! Everything is spot on! ![]() Quote:

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.
