Hey everyone, just to preface, i did a search on this and didnt find anything, so i apologize if im bringing up old news here.
Im the proud owner of a 1986 M1009 Blazer. Im lining up a bunch of upgrades for the next year or so, to do in stages, and im doing homework and collecting parts right now. One thing im looking at is the Hummer style double beadlock rims.
I will be putting 8 lug axles in the truck, and have been doing my homework on that, but what i wanted to know, is can i run the standard 7in backspacing of these rims on my blazer? i have read most people doing this swap get recentered rims with a 4in backspacing, but i really prefer the military look of the uncut rims. I just dont know if they will work with that 7in backspacing.
I will be replacing the 1/2 ton 10 bolts with a 14 bolt rear, and either an 8 lug 10 bolt front or D44 front. the 14 bolt in the rear may be converted to disk brakes. my truck isnt really serious enough or abused enough to warrant a D60 front right now.
Any help you guys can offer is greatly appriciated, i figure if anyone knew if this would work it would be the members of this forum
