What size rims to get?
I was looking at rims and I would like to know whats the biggest size rim that could fit on my 1995 S10/Blazer?
I would probobly pair the rims with low-profile tires.

Re: What size rims to get?
17's or 18's are probably the biggest u wanna go. just remember that bigger wheels and tires = side effects like worse performance/mpg, and wear on suspension components and brakes due to greater rolling mass. upgrading the brakes would be a very good idea

yes i believe 20's would fit with 30 or 35 series low profiles.

Re: What size rims to get?
my buddy has an s10 with 20's on it, he cant turn his wheel all the way without it rubbing, i think he said like 1 1/4 is all he gets out of his. ill double check that, but i know his turning radius has sufferd alot

Re: What size rims to get?
18s with 255/55/18's work perfectly and are an exact match for a P235/75r/15.
I know, I have them.
Don't go any higher or it will look totally retarded and you won't be able to turn.

Re: What size rims to get?
You are looking at such a harsh ride with any tire that has a profile any lower then 55. Good luck and take pics!
