Do you have 2wd or 4wd? Stock rims?

I personally just got new rims. Spacers would be the cheaper way to go but rims are the better looking way to go. Changed my rims from a 15x7 to a 15x8 and they stick out about 2 inches now. Needed 1.25 inch spacers in the back to match the front though

Assuming your stock tire size is 235/75/15, try running 255/70/15's. That will give you a beefier look and will not throw off the speedometer as they are almost the same diameter. As for sticking out past the wheel wells, if you like your Blazer clean, don't do it. If you do, both sides of your Blazer will be covered with anything that happens to be on the road as you drive. And I mean EVERYTHING.

I'll second AJBert's suggestion of trying 255/70/15's on stock rims. They look way beefier than the factory 235's, and you don't have to worry about rubbing or changing your speedometer. I ran that size for 4 years on my Blazer.

Those are nice and clean.

Also they are 2wd rims, so they will stick out in the front a little, and flush the tire with the body in the back.
