I scored these from a guy my dad knows for $130, brand new tires hes says they are off of a newer blazer, what do you guys think? they will fit my 69' if i get longer wheel studs, or convert to disk brakes....

They look like they are off of a 2000-2001 silverado. check the inside diameter of the center hole. i think its to small to fit over the hubs on our trucks. All though you could get it machined slightly

The hole in the center may not fit around the bearing hub, I had the same problem with a later model pair of rims (hole was too small). They can be machined to fit though.

even then, the back spacing will be way wrong and look funny.
It'll look like a fat person in stiletto shoes from behind

Even if they don't fit it's good trading material...

Exille · 01-26-2005, 10:23 PM

they fit, at least on mine they do, i tried one on my right front and the hub (2wd) has about 1/2 all around, except like i said, i would need longer studs, they dont rub or anything, more then enough backspacing

you need to message Iman user name he just got done doing that set of wheels

Putter · 01-27-2005, 09:57 AM

PLUS, you might want to try those on the REAR. I had a similar set and was ready to pay the guy, and they would not bolt up on the rear because of that center hole diameter. Plus like Longhorn mentioned, the back spacing is killer. It will look like you put a BIG SCREEN on a night-stand.

I'd try them out and see. I bought aftermarket 6 lug rims that people told me was too much backspacing and they fit fine. They werent hubcentric though so i didnt have to worry about the hub. I did have to install longer studs though. Theres a guy on the board who but some escalade 20's on his truck and he said he just machines the front two wheels and spaced the back two. I think his name is meathead or something like that.
