Default bigger tires on chrome rims?

alright i need some advice....you guys see my rims and i think they are a little small for the wheelwell, so i was thinking of putting some bigger tires on, probably twice as big as the ones i have on now, that way i have the bling of the rims and the fuller beefer look hopefully taking up the remainder of the space above the wheels...what do you guys think?

mine are 17 inch rims......and i would lower it but i do use it in the winter so i kinda need to keep the ride height where it is....so i figure beefy tires would fill the wheelwell and help out with the look as well as give my car a lil bit more height

17's are too small man, go with like 18's or 19's or just take and do a slight drop to your blazer to make it look clean.

The 18's look great.... anything smaller looks like chocolate chip cookies in the wheel wells, i should know with the stock 15's!!! ugh!! they will be around a while, i have other things to do before that gets taken care of.

hey Nova can you put some pics of that ZR2 up for me?? i've needed pics of one for a while... thanks man!!
