What do I need to look for when I order rims?

[Dan Swat]

OK guys - bear w/ me on this b/c I am new to whole wheel buying process

Aside from the rim size (for me 20" or 22") and # of bolts pattern (6 lugs) - what other dimensions do I need to find a pair or rims to fit my Envoy

Do they have to be 6 X 127 - alot of ones I see that I want are 6 x 135 - will those work? What else factors in?

Thanks

I have a small wheel+tire business, I can get you 20's or 22's for much cheaper than shops.
I can get quite a few wheels for the trailblazer in 20" and 22".
Its a 6x127/6x5 only, with a high offset, I think on my 22's its a +35.
When I had 20's on I wana say they were a +37, but not sure. For some reason the 20's hit the frame when i turned all the way, but the 22's dont.
I can get 22" wheel+tire sets for around or under $2,000

Like impalajunkie stated, the wheels need to be 6x5(127mm) or they're not going to fit the hubs.

I believe the offset on my 20" A/R Torq ST Chromes is +32 and they would just touch with the wheel turned to full against the stop.....BUT, so did my stock 17" inch tires. - In my case it was the alignment of the plastic fender liner, which I must have moved slightly when I added the additional sound insulation to the front fenders. (After having them down and put back up, they no longer rub....something to check if you encounter a slight rubbing at full lock).

The couple of 22" tires I've seen are +35, but the sidewall starts getting kinda thin at that size. If you do lots of parking on the street or want a more comfortable ride, you might want to go with 20s.

Just my :m2: on the subject.

if you really want the other wheels you cna get lug adapters from 6x5 to 6x5.5. they space out the wheels by about 1.3 each. you can find them on ebay and other sites for about $50 a piese
