has anyone put a ranger rotor on an s10 blazer, I want to run wheels with a 5x4.5 bolt pattern, but I plan on bagging it and a spacer would put it out too much. I know on one forum I read someone said I would need bigger calipers but then I'd have to swap spindles. I'd like to hear yalls thoughts on how I could make this work.

Speedway, Jegs, Summit fleabay, scamazon all pretty much have a rotor that will fit your spindle with the ford pattern. Below is an example may not fit your truck.

11 Inch GM Brake Rotor with Ford Bolt Pattern

1973-1977 GM rotor redrilled to the 5 x 4-1/2" Ford bolt pattern. To be used with our #7024475 GM metric caliper adapter kit for disc brakes on a 1937-1948 Ford car spindle. Very common rotor to use as a conversion rotor. Has 1/2" fine wheel studs. NOT interchangable with rotor 91031066. If you...

I want to run wheels with a 5x4.5 bolt pattern,

we have all been there.
we see something shiny and pretty and its super cheap.
your ford wheels for example.
but we then spend more money to make them work than it would have been to buy the correct wheels in the first place.
then we sit and scratch our heads wondering why we did this.
Dont is my suggestion.
20 inch wheels with tires are like $300- 500 dollars nowadays. There are no ford pattern wheels id ever think of changing bolt pattern for, unless, maybe they were some 22 inch billet specialties or something that would cost $6500 to buy and someone was selling for $1200. Then i might, might consider it.
But, since you said youre going to bag the truck, you alreday have like $5k being tied up into all that, so, whats another $500 to ge the correct wheels for your truck and not have any issues..
Do it once, do it right.

Good that you have a goal. I've oft found the hunt for rare, unique to be a fun part of any acquisition.

I feel it can be frustrating at times but worth it in the end… this forum and s10 facebook groups seem to be a big help and proof anything is possible if you really want it

Nothing wrong with your original plan provided you're aware of the full cost in time, effort, and ca$h. To bk2life's point, you may find a better solution if you remain vigilant in your search and disciplined with your purchase......

Big budget can be a plus.....
