07-09 5 spoke nissan titan wheels

[da_nmbr_1_stunna]

Anybody know if these wheels will fit an 89 Blazer. Also a pic if you got it. I think Ive seen them on a blazer before, but it might've been a different wheel.

Yea they totally will....

 

[AJMBLAZER]

Doubt it. Probably way too much backspacing, but don't quote me on that.

 

[da_nmbr_1_stunna]

how much is too much backspacing?

 

[AJMBLAZER]

Usually anything past 4" on these trucks.

I dug up info on the nissan rims and they are 18x8 with a 5.5" backspacing.

 

[da_nmbr_1_stunna]

sorry i need to up my post count to post a pic

this blazer here has 20x9 wheels with 5.5 backspacing and I dont think it looks all that bad. Would I have problems hitting the the tie rod? (and no I dont want to ghetto it out.) I just need some cheap tires to move it around. I found someone who only wants 200 for the wheels and tires.

With an 18" rim you should clear tie rod stuff easily. The tires and rims will be somewhat tucked in with that backspace though. Probably an inch to an inch and a half further tucked in than stock GM rims...

 

[da_nmbr_1_stunna]

thanks for the info everyone. I think I can live with the wheels being tucked in a little more for now. Ill post pics for reference when I put them on.

well i got the wheels yesterday and tried them on. The lug pattern is the same, but the center hole is too small. I took them to a machine shop and had the hole bored out. I got the wheels from him today, but the tire shop in town had already closed. So here is a pic with the wheel on the axle. I'll have the wheel and tires mounted and ready for pics tomorrow. I really like these titan wheels.

well here is a pic with the wheels and tires on the blazer.

Not bad, would be cool if you could figure out a center cap without it saying Nissan

 

[AJMBLAZER]

Got a pic from the front? Interested to see how much further in they are compared to stock.

 

[da_nmbr_1_stunna]

well I had to bore the center hole to chevy specs, 3" to 3.5" i believe, so im sure now I can find a chevy center cap since its the same size center. The nissan caps wont fit any more. AJMBLAZER I'll take a pic of the front for you when I get home from work.

 

[da_nmbr_1_stunna]

Here are some better pics of them in the sunlight. I'm definitely going to need some spacers in the rear. I'm thinking 2" spacers.

I figure most newer trucks are coming out with 18" wheels so it should be easier to find used tires.

That one is a 2wd. That being said, the titan rims look pretty good on the K5

 

[63chevyll]

To be honest,
The wheels are nice and have good style, but IMO a 2 inch wheel spacer and a 33 or equivalent P-metric tire down the road would look a little better.

I'm not dogging it, just sharing.

 

[da_nmbr_1_stunna]

I did the metric conversion on the tires that are on it now and they are just under 33's. I think it was 32.4 in., those wheels make the tire look small. With 18's im thinking at least a 35, but this is just temporary so that i can drive it around.

 

[63chevyll]

It's all good. At least its on the road. And pictures don't always do the real thing justice.
