What year trailblazer do I look for for a steel rim for a spare? I have a 2004

I believe all Trailblazer and Envoy 17" rims should be good. Mine is a cast rime from an Envoy. Good luck.

Thanks for the info. Went to my local salvage yard & pick up a new steel rim & it had a new tire on it for 100.00

The wheel you need is a 17x7 and the optimum tire is a 225/65-17.

Be careful....... there were some early Trailblazers that had 16" wheels. I test fitted one on my SSR and found that they WILL NOT clear the front brake calipers.

Best to get one from the long wheelbase Trailblazer. As this is what the SSR is based on and has the same brakes. Not like the short wheelbase T/B and smaller brakes and 16" rims.

You can use any of the Chevy Trailblazer / GMC Envoy / Olds Bravada / Buick Raineer / Isuzu Ascender / SAAB 9-7X wheels, as long as they are the the 17x7 version. I think the 16" wheels were only out for 1 or 2 years.

All of the spare wheels were steel and all (I think) of the road wheels were alloy. It makes no difference. If you are going to use one with one of my spare tire kits, you'll be painting it black anyway to make it disappear under the truck. Some of those road wheels (Envoy for example) are so ugly that they are in dire need of hiding.
