i was looking at the amarican racing ventura wheels and i wanted 15x7 by 5x144.2 (run stock tires) so my question is they have -6" offset and i know these trucks have offset problems (with aftermarket wheels) dose anyone know how far would the tires stick out and what kind of seering/ supension problems will i have

There is a difference between offset and backspacing. You want 6' of backspacing to retain stock setup. Less backspacing gives you a wider look, with wear on bearings and steering. Stock offset is 42mm I think it is...or 40?

In the pick offset is shown right above the center of the wheel. Rear spacing is backspacing.
Edit: And why are you looking at 5x144.2s? Blazer's bolt pattern is 5x4.75 or 5x120.65 mm.

ok thanks for the help and i wanted to say 5x4.3/4 but i just wasint thinking and i found the exact same wheel with 35" offset so the fits into that 0 to 53 offset range so that should be the exact same offset as my stock jimmy wheels

negative ghostrider, the pattern is full.
There's alot of rims out there with similar to stock setup. 5' of backspacing pretty much fine for the vehicle, also a 5x120mm bolt pattern fits. This opens up your rim selection greatly.

The only thing i dont like about that kinda wheel is Ive seenfirst hand the clear coat on them crack and start peeling...Just my Opinion..Once they peel they look like crappola...

I had 15x10 outlaws on my bronco, yes a bronco...lol! They held up great, the only clear coated wheel i recommend. If you got a few extra bucks go with mickey thompson classics or the classic IIs with a fakebeadlock ring, i had the IIs on a 4x4and they were awesome wheels
