Re: Bought new wheels today!!!
Thanks guys! It's only got about 2 1/2" of lift. The tires are 285/70/17's. I bought it 3 weeks ago and knew it needed wheels and tires ASAP!!! Here's a picture of before:

Re: Bought new wheels today!!!
Looks great, although I'm partial to the stock look too.
Did you have to do anything special to get the wheels to fit?

Re: Bought new wheels today!!!
I wasn't sure if I wanted to go with 17's, but am really happy with how they look. I didn't want to get a real gawdy looking wheel....and these Moab's just caught my eye. They remind me of the old "slot" style wheels.
bouncy: I didn't do anything special...they just bolted right on.

Re: Bought new wheels today!!!
Sweet looking Blazer. I agree with you on not wanting "gawdy", those really fit the year of that Blazer.

Re: Bought new wheels today!!!
Looks Great! I have had my eye on the Moab also. I am probably months away from buying any wheels, but I always thought they balanced nicely between Bling and Simplicity. The Blazer looks very nice!

Re: Bought new wheels today!!!
Looks great with those rims on it! Can you get a close up pic of the tires and rims. Amazing how a set of rims can change the look of a vehicle.
Love it topless too!!
