Long shot but... anyone selling 17" Trailblazer / envoy wheels?

[BAD LS1]

Looking for a set of 17" rims locally off atrailbalzer or envoy if you know of any... The 16" jobbers wont clear the brakes on this pickle:mad:

They are a 6x 5" lug pattern and aftermarket rims are scares and too expensive, not mention ugly.

[Car Guy]

If you find a set expect to pay at least $300-350, I'll keep my eyes :wooo.....

Yeah its about 300 shipped off ebay for factory rims...

[Car Guy]

That is cheaper than they were at not too long ago......

[HP ADDICT]

I picked up a set envoy chrome 17 for 300 with tires off CL and through em on my TB.

Tom, what a lot of SS guys are doing is scaveging local junkyards for fullsize stamped steel spares and running 4 of those through winter. Could be cheaper then trying to buy some OEM 17's

It has to be a truck type 17" rim with enough BS to clear the brakes and the spindle. One could use spacers to change the patter to 6 x 5.5 but then trying to find a rim that wont stick out pasthe fender is a bitch, then a silverado wheel with a 265 series tire wont clear the spindle... Just gotta pay the piper and get factory rims for it of some sort.

This thing sucks balls in the snow BTW with the 20's!

i could imagine i left my 18" on up until about 2 weeks ago with yokohama parada's it was like driving on iceskates.. i finally cleared the space in the barn to get my car in and the tires off.. as my girlfriends father always says.." it drives way more gooder now"

They are LKQ smart parts in hustisford, about 10 min from my house.

Just so happened that had 4 17" steel spares off TB's in stock. They cost though... $100 a pop! You can get factory alloy wheels for $85 a pop but they are 4 days out. But i need them before this huge storm tommorow.

Gonna forego the TPMS sensors too like i do with the monte, just gotta clear the warning out of the DIC everytime you drive... no biggie to me. Not sure if the stabilitrak operates the same w/o but that shit was active most of the time in the last 4" we got lol... Never seen a AWD truck you can pitch around easier than the S10 lolololololol

[Car Guy]

What brand/model of snow tires are you going to go with...???

[johnny--2k]

I wish I could do that on mine. Unfortuantely, with the Brembos, I'm stuck with the smallest of an 18" rim, and even the regualr GC wheels will not clear the brakes. my winter package will cost me $1600 so consider yourself lucky!

[Yooformula]

might want to call turtle cause he hasnt been online in while. I would try larry at firestone, he got us a great deal! also sam's club had decet goodyear snow tires.

[turbogarrett]

Got some pirelli scorpions for the ml, this thing is no longer fun to drive in the snow almost grips too good! Probably the best 700 I ever spent on car parts.

I know big bear sells a lot of hankook, the ice bear's are supposed to be pretty good, come in a lot of sizes and are cheap.
