wheel question

[2drho]

I had and wrecked a 04 Blazer 4dr 2wd
I am looking at getting a 96 Tahoe 2dr 4wd

I already have a set of 20s that fit the blazer, I know the bolt pattern is different but do they make an adaptor to make these work on the tahoe??
The wheels are 20X8.5 and have a -15 offset(was going to use adaptors for the blazer also with that offset)
Thanks for the help

There are wheel adapters available to go from 6 lug to 5 lug and vice versa. The problem is the adapters are two piece and they will cause the rims to stick out at least 2 inches. Additional to that there is a fair amount of work to get the adapters to fit right (ie trimming of the stock and adapter lugs). It can be done, but is it worth it?

Check here for the adapters

Your 04 Blazer was a 4 door? Unless I'm mistaken, you must have had the smaller (S10) Blazer then, because if memory serves, they never built the full-sized Blazer in a 4-door version. It wasn't until the Tahoe was introduced that you could get what was basically a 4-door K5 Blazer.

If this is the case, didn't your 04 have 5 lug wheels? Or am I way off base here? Anyway, what is the bolt pattern on your wheels? I know of people using wheel adaptors, but I wouldn't use them myself. It changes the load on the wheel bearings and can cause premature wear. I've also heard that they can fail, but I don't know of any specific documented cases. I do know that tire stores in my area will not work on your rig if you are using wheel adaptors.

i think he is talking about a trail blazer.

could have been the S10 blazer or a trail blazer. the K5's last year was 94 right?

Hey guys sorry i didnt make it clear, yes it was a s10 blazer.
I have decided against the adaptors to make them fit. I will just sell the rims and get some that will fit the tahoe without adaptors.
thanks alot and I look forward to chating with all of you guys
Thanks
Bernie

btw, as you can see I got the Tahoe and cant wait to fix it up to my taste.
