I just bought these of CL for $200. The tires are practically new with 90% thread left .The guy said he had them on his Tundra for about 6mths. What a difference a new set of shoes make. I just need to wash and detail her.What do you think?

Nice! Those tires would look good on the facory wheels and hub caps w/ a small lift too!

clos69 · 05-10-2009, 10:13 PM

Thanks, but no can do...my new wheels are 16x8.5 and I think my stocks are 15x7.

BLUE THUNDER · 05-10-2009, 10:56 PM

Nice score. The Blazer looks great. New shoes do make a difference. Later, Mario

**Yukon Jack** · 05-11-2009, 11:13 AM

Totally changes the look but that is okay as I like it either way. Very nice K5!

bouncytruck · 05-11-2009, 11:20 AM

Very nice ride, but I prefer the stock hubcaps. There are so few still stock, it makes it stand out more. That being said, I also understand why you want something else. I've toyed with the idea of putting some custom wheels on mine for years, but I when I think about it, it's the stock rim and hubcaps that make it different.

clos69 · 05-11-2009, 01:24 PM

Thanks for the compliments guys......yeah I thought about keeping it stock...but I just couldn't pass up a good deal like this.

lgdpt · 05-11-2009, 02:29 PM

Just keep the stock ones and when the rubber wears out on the ones you just bought....you can get new rubber on the stockers. Obviously you know what I prefer.....

Ditto! Looks like you have almost the same set up as me. I have BFG's on the stock rims with the dog-dish and a small lift.

lgdpt · 05-11-2009, 03:05 PM

Yep Bouncy, I meant to tell you a while ago your pics were one of the reasons I went that route. I loved the look of your Blazer.

Luis_gz06 · 05-11-2009, 05:17 PM

Very sweet stocker. Any inside pics?

bagged74 · 05-11-2009, 10:18 PM

I think I should have bought that blazer when i saw it on craigslist. I actually showed it to my wife and told her it was too cheap and probably a scam

guess i should have emailed him

I like the new wheels, but i agree with the others too. keep the stockers for backup. I always put custom rims on my blazers/trucks, but i always have a nice set of rallys for backup.

I agree....that was the first thing that came to my mine when I first saw the ad(scam). I called the guy a week later after he posted it and found out he still had it. I didn't think twice about it after that....drove 1600+ miles round trip to pick it up and worth every penny.

Here some from when I first got it. I am getting ready to install the new carpet that came with it.

70rs/ss · 05-12-2009, 06:02 PM

Holy cow that is a sweet blazer and a single walled top to boot, with side panels, SCHWEEEET!!!

Wasted Income · 05-12-2009, 09:58 PM

Rig looks 100000000000% better with the new wheels! Very cool.
