New Wheels!!

[2000blazerls]

These will be delivered and installed (with my newly aquired tires) on Wed of this upcoming week! I am going with the 15x8 instead of the 15x7 like my stock wheels. Will widen it up a bit. What do you think??

Will post pics of them installed Wed/Thursday!

Go back and read my post to find the answer to your question.

Those are Badass Rims, How much, and where did you get them from???

[2000blazerls]

I only paid $400 for them because of the wholesale discount I get at my job. With the small shipping amount and the new locking lug set I got, I am still under $500 for them. They are Pacer wheels but I got them from American Tire in Atlanta. We get tires/wheels from them at work all the time and these were in the new catalog they sent down and I just had to have them.

I like them too! Are you going to post pics after you get them??? haha Just kidding

[2000blazerls]

Haha, Yes. Just to make this clear. I will be posting pictures.

Ok, little snag in my wheels. Got a late start on them at work and found out that the socket I have to use with the impact is too thick. I was able to get one fully on BUT the others would not work because the socket kept getting jammed in the hole. I took one picture to prove I actually do have them though. I will take more tomorrow once I hit autozone and get a thin socket to mount the rest.



That is the mounted one on the rear with my Goodyear RTS tires on them. Someone suggested using a lower tire so here is a picture of it if anyone wants to know what it would look like. It is a 245/60/15 instead of the tires I am actually using. might look better on a S-10 but I am sticking with the Goodyears.




And for fun. Here is a picture of my son as Spiderman for Halloween!!

Ok folks. Finally got them on and took some good pics.








So what do you think??? I love them! I have some vibration now when I hit 60mph+ so I need to get them static balanced. Will do that this upcoming week. Found a shop to do it for $25 instead of the $50-$60 the other shops wanted for it. Helps that I a sell parts to the place at a good discount =)

Ok, minor problem. I have some rubbing on the front right wheel when turning sharply to the right. Can I just cut that piece of the inside shield off?






Also, some people here (and other boards) mentioned that I could go with a bigger tire without running so why are these rubbing? Maybe need new shocks or something else?

I will need to cut about a 6"x6" piece out of the shield. Should be ok though right?

I would think about it before I cut out the inner fender. I put 75's on my blazer and it does the same thing. It rubs worse when you have 4 people in your truck. I don't make a lot of sharp turns with it so I have learned to live with the rubbing instead of cutting out the inner fender. Harsh Chicago's winter's played a big factor in my decision not to cut.

Just My

Those wheeles do make your truck look awesome.

One thing going for him though he lives in Georgia. They get rain so mud could be a factor up in engine.Do you get snow in that part of Georgia alot or just freezing rain?

I don't normally care for aftermarket wheels, but those look very nice.
