Offroad Trailblazers and Envoys

Any way I can make these work?

Need new shoes? This is the place to discuss.

Not easily, our platform use 6 lugs. Look for chevy 6 and get adapter. And read all sticklys at the top the tire post before u get flamed. Read read and read some more.

The adaptors aren't the issue as much as mismatched sizes and15 inch wheels w unknown backspacing.

There is a point at which one can be too frugal. Beyond that point, you risk increasing your expenses.

Like condoms and parachutes, you want to make good decisions about how much to spend on tires and wheels. Mostly tires.

for about $100 more you can get a new set that are similar that utilize 6 lugs that would use our standard wheel adapters.
