Does anyone know a good website where you can find some 15x7 or 16 in Black wheels?

What style?  Do you want an OEM look, or do you want the oh so popular soft 8s or do you want a spoked design?

Check Summit Racing, Synergy Offroad, 4 Wheel Parts...there's quite a few.  Just to make sure, you've got a 5x4.75 bolt pattern, with 6'' of backspacing...unless you're one of those wild ZR2s that came in 2wd..

You might want to add your vehicle information to your signature, and attach it to all your posts!

which wheels came on the 2wd ZR2's? I didn't even know about the 2wd ZR2 until a month or two ago and I hadn't really thought about what wheels might have come with it...

Is it just the standard 2wd swirly wheels? (I think all 2wd's came with the same wheels)

but still with the same axle width and everything like a zr2 right?  I was thinking they came with the 2wd wheels, so I would assume they are identical to the 4x4s...just...without the whole 4x4 thing

Exactly.  Different front wheel bearings, no transfer case/front diff.  Other than that, basically the same as a 4x4.  Same track width/wheels/etc.

There's a 2wd ZR2?! Anyone know where I could source the parts to convert my 2wd, or how tough it would be?

Sorry for the thread hijack, I just got excited.

a 2wd ZR2 makes about as much sense as wiping before you poop..........

Haha oh yes...and the rarity of finding one...I doubt you could!  Also I wouldn't be suprised if most of the 2wd ZR2s are being sold or sitting on some po' dunk dealer's lot tagged as a typical ZR2 4x4.

Many Baja race trucks/buggies are 2wd. If 2wd prerunners are well suited enough to run, jump, and corner at speeds of 60+ mph in the deserts and back country of the Southwest and Mexico, they make sense to me.


The ZR2 is probably the closest thing to a long travel suspension available for a 2wd blazer, unless there's a nice kit that I'm not aware of.
I guess a 2wd ZR2 is one of those weird things that only I would lust after, lol. I just enjoy the simplicity of 2wd.

i always defend Baja truck to the bitter end. But, bring a baja truck to a good ol Kentucky strip mine. It wont pass the entrance. Also, if you baja raced a ZR2 Blazer, you would flip over and die..lol

6" BS is what the stock rims came with.  Lowering the BS may lead to a rub as the radius that the tire goes through while turning is now larger.
