Silverado z71 wheels on 96 blazer?

I just put a lift on and i am looking for some wheels and tires that will fill out the wells. Does anyone know if a 16" Silverado rim will fit in place of the stock 15" on my blazer. Thanks

Don't silverado rims have 6 lugs on them? So the answer would be no if they do.

If i'm not mistaken the older z71's ('98 and older) are only 5 lug and the newer ones are 6. But still the older ones are probably gonna have a bigger bolt pattern.

Uh, Im pretty sure that the Z71's have been six lug for ever.

But the 2wd silverado and sierra have wheels that look identical and are 5 lug. The only downfall there is that the lug pattern is different anyways. I think its 5 on 5 and mine (95 blazer) is 5 on 4.75.

But there are a bunch of older cars and trucks that have the 5 on 4.75 bolt pattern. If you look around Im sure you will see some type of s10 with Iroc wheels on it.

The other thing you want to pay attention to is offset. Check out www.tirepackage.com they seem to have some pretty good deals. Although Ive never bought from them.

if im not mistaken all z71's and full size 4wd's have always been 6 lug..pre-73 2wd's were 6 lug and somewhere around 2000 2wd's were made 6 lug again......im lookin for newer z71's to put on my 93 fullsize blazer...the fancy aluminum ones ..kinda hard to find though cheap.

Welcome to AF WTC05,

If it's a 2wd try looking for comaro wheels, if it's 4x4 your limited to S10 wheels or S10 Blazer wheels.
