I got new wheels yesterday for my blazer, but since it was raining i had the shop mount them on my swb to make sure they fit. Only a crappy cell phone pic so far. Unfortunately, they'll probably stay on my swb until I get the cast off my leg. I got such a great deal on them I'm thinking I might get a black set for the swb. If I do, I'll probably get a taller side wall since it not as low as my blazer (yet). There's too much fender well gap for my taste if I got the same sizes.

hotrodhomi · 03-27-2011, 04:44 PM

Dang that first picture was bad. I had to go back outside and take another one.

bucketObolts · 03-27-2011, 04:50 PM

i agree about the gap, but they would definitely look sweet in black on the swb with the taller sidewall. Ive always liked dark wheels with white paint. Can't wait to see them on the blazer. Im shopping for new 20 fronts/22 rears and have narrowed it down to only about 50

o6r1man · 03-27-2011, 05:22 PM

I like that color on the short bed. Those wheels and a little lower and it would look even more bada$$ then it does now. IMO

What's the specs on them? They look good.

Cool wheels! Nice

C/10 King · 03-27-2011, 08:19 PM

Wow!!!!! Where can I find a nice looking rig like that?

Those wheel need to stay on that truck, just bring in down a little more.

They look great on there!
What size tires did you put on them?

hotrodhomi · 03-27-2011, 11:06 PM

275/35/20 & 255/35/20 Hankooks

nastyc10 · 03-27-2011, 11:39 PM

Looks good, maybe some 40 series tires would help that gap some.

I bought the wheels for my blazer, but had them installed on my truck because it was raining and I wanted to make sure they would fit (blazer stays topless). The blazer is bagged so the gap will not be there when I get around to swapping shoes.

hotrodhomi · 03-28-2011, 05:36 PM

They should look better on this.

nastyc10 · 03-28-2011, 11:47 PM

They will look really good on that!

colin_havens · 03-29-2011, 12:05 PM

Those look great. Now why is it all the decently priced wheels I like they do not make in a 22?

Dads69C10 · 03-29-2011, 12:51 PM

Great looking truck and Blazer! Did you have any fit issues with the 338's. I just converted my 69 to 5x5 disc/drum and am looking at wheels?

mgkgmc · 03-29-2011, 03:14 PM

I think your truck is going to make me buy a set of those wheels. Those look badass.

Mike J · 03-29-2011, 03:29 PM

yep, 2" more front, 1" rear drop , they would look great on the swb - so yeah, they're gonna look great on the blazer on airride!

Cbrown67 · 03-29-2011, 03:57 PM

That's one sweet ride man!
