Hi everyone. I would like to replace the stock 15’s on my Blazer with 17 or 18 inchers. But I really don’t want to run lug centric wheels. Does anyone know where you can buy larger wheels with the 3.5 inch center bore so they are hub centric? Thanks in advance for your help.

Are you concerned with strength or the appearance? My center bore is a little bigger than yours, but none of the aluminum wheels I looked at were the same as my oem center bore. Even if you had 5 lugs, I doubt shear strength would ever be an issue with correct torque.

Yeah, I don't know of any aftermarket hub-centric wheels. My '77 K5 has dealer-installed mag wheels, and even those are lug-centric. Been fine for 40 years.
