Here's a pic of the boyds look like new,
They are in definite need of a good polishing, and I would want new center caps for them.
Should I go for it, and trade?

What kind of blazer are we talking about? The only blazer that is a direct fit is an S-10 Blazer 2wd(assuming they fit correctly on it). Just something else to consider if you need to run adapters.

Well, I just did the swap 
I'll try and get some pics later today.
And they did come off of a 2wd S-10 Blazer, hell they fit better than the AR's.
But it DID make me notice the alignment problem, I looks like I have a bad Idler arm on top of a toe out problem.
I think I'm gonna do a backyard alignment and compensate for the slop in the steering linkage until I can buy a new idler and alignmnet. <-Bad Idea???

The wheels look to be 17"x9.5" the tires are 255/40/17<-Is this a good size?
The car rides better than I expected and actually stays straight ahead (except when I hit bumps), I did notice my brakes weren't biting after the swap and they seem to be getting hotter.
I think my rotors are glazed and could use a new set of pads (worn about half way), should I just get new rotors or is there anything I can do to remedy this because the rotors seem to be straight with little wear on them.
