Just wondering..
A while back I saw a chevy blazer with sawblade rims on it, it looked pretty cool and I have a old pair of sawblades sitting in my closet, my question is, is a adapter needed of some sort for those rims to fit on my blazer? (01' 4dr blazer)
Don't flame me for wanting to do this either lol
Edit: I was wrong he had turbines

That's my truck, and I basically did that as a joke. I took them off the same day. (they're "Turbines" off my '85). Bolt pattern is the same, I didn't use adapters or spacers.
Here's what I had to do. If you look closely, you'll see that the center cap is missing on the front wheel. The front hub bearing cap sticks out beyound the center of the Turbine, so I had to pop them out.
I did notice slight rubbing during sharp turns, but other than that, nothing major interference wise. It probably hosed up my speedo somewhat, but as I said, it was just an amusement picture for me to post.
I wouldn't recommend it for every day driving.
Here's some more showing off the "Hot Wheels" effect and width profile.
