What was the stock wheel set-up for these, any photo's would help. Thanks Pete

The blazer pic has the correct 6" width steel rims and optional chrome dog dish hubcaps. My truck pic has the correct full wheel covers found on cst blazers and Cheyenne equipped trucks as an option. Trevor

The rims on my Blazer (the Orange one in the post above) are 16". I'm not sure how wide they are, but I'd guess 5". Dog dish hubcaps, but it's not a CST.

Had that pic of your blazer Bouncy for a long time, I think I still have a pic of it before you bought it with the rally's and 35"s on it. Still my favorite blazer on the board. Trevor

Thanks Trevor. Do you mean this picture? This is when Dana (Bad4x4) owned it. He bought it from the original owner, put the lift and the rallys then sold it to Bob (Cheyanne10). Bob took off the Rallys and the big tires and put stock skinny rims back on. I've kept it like that and I really like the look. I like the big tires on the stock rims you your truck. I've thought about getting the white steel rims widened.

Trevor how wide are those rims on your truck in post #2.I have the stock steelies with full wheel covers as well that I haven't used yet.That looks great.I would like to try that look on my Blazer.

**71blksuper4x4** · 11-02-2009, 02:11 AM

I didn't have the stock steelies on in that photo. The rims I had on the truck at that time were 15 x 8" rallys. Any wider of a rim, and you wouldn't be able to reach in and turn the lockout hubs. 8" wide puts them flush with the cut out in the full wheel cover. This next go around on my 2nd restoration of the truck, it will get this wheel and cap treatment. I found the hard to come by 15 x 8" steelies and have a nice almost NOS set of the dog dishes, but I also have 2 sets of really nice full wheel covers as well. Trevor

Will the full wheel covers snap on to the 15x8 rallies? If so I never thought of that.
