difference in 2wd and 4wd

bowtie99 · 02-12-2007, 02:29 AM

i have fount a couple of sets of extreme wheels and zq8 wheels for the blazer but the seller tells me they will not fit cuz of my truck being 4wd. Can someone explain the difference in the why these will not fit my truck when both are 5 lug hubs...

Ok its in the offsets like the 4x4 the fronts a high off set like a fwd car the back a normal truck offset like you 2wd s10

basically, they'll mount, but they'll stick out 2" from where they should be

the 4wd trucks have a +40 offset which means that the hub mounting flange on the wheel is 40mm from the center of the wheel twords the outside of the wheel. The 2wd have a 0mm offset which means that the hub mounting flange is right in the center of the wheel. So if u mount 2wd rims on a 4wd the wheels will stick out 40mm or 1.57". I have seen 2wd rims on a 4wd and it looks very bad in my opinion.

Get corvette wheels instead, they look better anyway. they'll bolt right up without spacers

exactly what year vette are you talking about... Personally the zq8 rims for the s-series are some of the best looking stock rims i have seen but im open to suggestions... So yeh, wat year vette tho?

All vettes, or 93+ F-body Camaro's & Firebirds. Older F-bodys will stick out like a 2WD S-10 Wheel.

Thanks, your pictures really put it in perspective. I might try something else out, but on the other hand its 4wd and to give it a decent stance, it looks better to have your rim/tire setup to look beefy and maybe stick out a little. Lots of ideas flowing now thanks.
