Okay, so I am in the market for a new set of wheels for my 94’ Chevy s10 pickup extended cab 2wd. I have my eyes on a set of ESR three piece wheels as I thought this would be a cool look on an older vehicle as you don’t see three piece wheels on s10s often specifically, the question or help I’m asking for is what can I do to get these to fit on my wheel hubs. I have seen some videos of swapping out the s10 wheel hub assembly for the blazer as the hub is shorter and I would imagine you could fit more wheels over it as the ESRs I am looking at probably won’t fit over my stock wheel hubs, I am looking to see if anyone has accomplished this with a wheel like that or any wheel that wouldn’t normally fit over the stock s10 wheel hub, because of how far it sticks out. Thank you all

I just looked at their site, they have the correct center bore size, you'll just need a different center cap.

It's not like that's your biggest problem. Offset is all wrong for 2wd, you'll need spacers.

The size and offset of the wheels you are looking at would be helpful info.
According to their website these would be the best fit, 18x8.5 +30 5x120.6 73.1 (custom drill)
You'd need 1-1/4" spacer to move the centerline of the wheel back to where it was originally since the original wheels are 0 offset. Might consider 2" to move them out a bit.
If you want hub centric spacers then you'd need to switch to late Blazer knuckles, hubs, calipers, rotors, etc.
Fitting them w/o the front clip, an engine or sitting on the floor won't tell you anything. But since the 120.65 bolt pattern is a 6-8 week lead time, now would be a good time to order.

Thank you sir will probably be picking up the blazer hub setup as I would like to keep the wheels as is and use their center cap. Was looking at the 19x8.5 +30 5x120.6 however the bore size is 72.56 so I will also have to either get hub rings or see if they could drill that size for the 19s, thank you for the wisdom

Thank you for the response, the setup I’m looking at would be 19x8.5 +30 120.56 with the center bore 72.56 so I would have to have it custom drilled or use hun rings but I would like to be able to use the esr center caps

Good thing is Blazer brakes are better brakes.
Bad thing is you'll be buying new hubs, rotors, pads, hoses, and calipers, again. Cost me over $500 total.
Make sure you get all the bolts with the backing plates and the little hose brackets. Everything.

Well, if the picture is his truck, they are not better brakes at all. Those look like 98-02 Camaro brakes. Good thing is they make adapters for the Blazer knuckle so you don't have to downgrade.

If it's not your truck, I would highly advise getting better brakes than what a stock Blazer has when running heavy 19" wheels.

Was looking to see if a part resource list already existed or someone had some info on where I can get the parts I need as I am having issues finding them, thanks guys
what issue on what parts are you looking for?
i go to my local parts/junk yard and unbolt the upper and lower balljoints, tie rod ends, brake hose, and take the entire assembly. I disassemble the parts back at the shop. clean and paint, and install onto the truck getting these parts.
