I've seen a few Trailblazer Chassis swaps. That was the first SSR. You have to get used to the deep offset wheels, but pretty cool. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2009 Posts: 1,596 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jun 2009 Posts: 1,596 | That's the first time I've seen that swap. They did a good job of incorporating the dash and interior of the SSR into it. The way they cut the front wheelwells just doesn't do the truck justice, though.
I agree with Whitedog, you have to get used to the negative offset wheels. I prefer deep dish wheels, but it's a cool truck. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2008 Posts: 1,775 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2008 Posts: 1,775 | This one isn't too bad. It's on a GMC Envoy chassis. I think the SSR chassis is pretty much the same as the TB/Envoys. http://s240.photobucket.com/user/ne...&_suid=13960237347950575566439101961The steelies on that 50 are actually spare tire rims, not my cup of tea.

Either way they don't suit it. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2008 Posts: 1,775 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2008 Posts: 1,775 | They used about 4 different styles of spares on the Trailblazer. That was one of them.
The Trailblazer actually uses the same bolt pattern as the Chevy Venture van. Could be off of a mini-van too.
Those GMC wheel actually look better under that truck, than they do under the Envoys.
