22/24" Rim Offset & Fitment on '97 S10 Blazer


Recommended Posts

Suv: 1997 S10 Blazer 4x4

Okay I was reading that if you get wheels that are spaced for a 2wd model that its fine but if you don't get 4wd offset rims that the front ones will stick out a mile b/c of 4wd hubs.....now what I'm trying to figure out is....how is that possibly true when you rotate your tires it makes no difference......?

Someone that has experience in wheels please help me out here.....don't feel like dropping big $$ on rims for them not to fit....

I want to know if a 24" will fit with minimal rubbing on turning without an fender rolling or other suspension mods....I don't want it rubbing when I hit a bump or such my sub box weighs about 400lbs soooo yeh but it will alos have bags in the rear to support the weight....I'm gonna drop it ~1" rear and ~1-2" front using the torsion bars and an allignment.

Also if you can point me to a place where I can find some nice but not majorly expensive rims (talking like $1k or less).

Looking at Boss 304 black w/ polished lip in a 22" but they look too small so gonna go with 24" if possible.

Thanks, Will

hmm well i agree with the rotation thing ya said and from my past work in a tire shop they should be the same. easiest thing would call a local tire/wheel shop and ask them. but id say the front and rears would be the same(but i also do not own a blazer) just trying to help from what i know. good luck with the wheel shopping

So the stock is ~28.5" I don't wanna go over ~30.25"....it appears nowhere recommends putting 4s on my blazer...so I may just go with a 255/35/22 or 255/40/22...

Thats the thing I live in West Virginia.....the only wheel shops carry off road wheels styles and tires and they are like 35miles away...so thats useless.....

They will pretty much laugh at me for wanting to put 22s/24s on a 4wd vehicle.....even though they would only be a summer tire and wheel and my stock wheels and tires would come back out for winter.

I def wouldn't recommend putting 4's on it either bro, stick with the 22's and go with the biggest tire possible to your specs a 285/30/22 is going to put you at a 28.9
