Question 98" Blazer Aftermarket Rim Sizes

What is the biggest size wheel that can fit on my 98’ Blazer? I was told an 18” rim is the biggest without causing steering clearance problems. Also, I’m trying not to lose any height by switching to the bigger wheel. What are your thoughts?

Then go with I have.

P255/55/R18 Rubber on 18 inch wheels.

Perfect size match for your stock tire and no speedometer changes will be needed.

I'll make a note of that. I was concerned about calibrating the speedometer too. Thanks for the heads up!
