1) Will the wheels (lugs) fit ? Original wheels
2) I know it's wider put would it be to wide ?
Cheers

I'm not positive what your truck has. If using the S10 rear, use a 4x4 rear as they are approx 4 inches wider than the 2wd. The 2wd S10 rear is a little narrow for our trucks without some significant outward offset to the rims. Don't ask me how I know <smile> Best wishes from the other side on the pond. - MV | | | | | Joined: May 2005 Posts: 145 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: May 2005 Posts: 145 | One other thing. Blazers had metric thread on the lug nuts. mv | | | | | Joined: Oct 2003 Posts: 363 Member | | Member Joined: Oct 2003 Posts: 363 | I thought we were talking about K5 blazers with a 6 lug rear. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 975 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 975 | Pipercub,
Also take a look at the new trailblazer rear...I read somewhere the width was right..
I realize you probably don't have piles of them laying around in junkyards in Belgium...but..if you are having one shipped from the states..it might be worth a look
Since the trailblazers have been out for awhile, they are starting to show up in the junkyards after people drive them sideways down the freeway at 75 MPH on icy roads...most are light rolls and don't mess up the drivetrain too bad. | | |
