Re: Need Blazer help, I need 8 lug wheels..
I guess you are right, not enough info. Okay, here's the long story.
1972 K5 blazer. A previous owner swapped in one ton chevy truck axles. 8 lug.
The blazer has a 6 inch lift, big 16 inch rim 36 inch tall off road tires, and rides like a stagecoach.
I never go off roading and wish that the truck looked more stock and that it rode better. In order to do this I am thinking about removing the lift kit and all the crazy off road shocks, and returning it to stock height.
I have a set of leaf springs from a stock Blazer already.
I am thinking about getting a set of tires like BF Goodrich all terrain radials for it. I hear they ride much better than the 36 inch off road tires that are currently on it. However, I hear that my 16 inch rim size is an issue as tire companies don't make many tires for that size.
So, I need to either replace the axles and get back to a regular lug pattern. or find some rims that would fit these axles. Rims would be much easier and cheaper.
Any suggestions?
