Well I just bought some 3/4 ton axles for my 1988 K5 Blazer. The front axle I bought is a dana 44 HD 8 lug axle with 4.10 gears and the rear is a 14 bolt full floater with 4.10 gears, both came out of a 1986 chevy 3/4 ton pickup. Since these axles are 8 lug and my old 10 bolts are 6 lug its time for some new rims and tires. I'm looking to put a set of 35x12.50x16 on this truck but the problem is that I cant find any 35x12.50s that are for a 16" rim. other than interco tires which are out of my price range. I'm looking to spend about $1300 on rims and tires. Does anyone know where I can get 35x12.50x16 tires?

 

you can't get 35's in 16" only 15 or 16.5 rim

 

We'll that explains why I can't find them....I don't want a 16.5" rim, I've heard they can't be aired down because the bead will pop. I'm not sure if a 15" rim will fit around the 14 bolts drums. Has anyone put 8 lug 15" rims on a 14 bolt full floater and a 8 lug dana 44. I'm thinking 15s should fit perfectly on the dana 44 because its almost the same axle as the GM 10 bolt.
