Default Bigger factory rims?

Was good people? I have a 98 chevy blazer lt and I'm wondering if I can get bigger factory rims. I currently rolling on 18's and I want to upgrade to at least some 22's, but Im not looking for some stupid fancy rims, I want the same factory rims but in a bigger size. Is there any way I can get some?

um.. Blazer's didn't come with an 18" factory rim.. the normal ones had 15" rims and the xtremes came with 16" rims. Do you have a pic of the ones you have right now..? Chances are someone slapped em on there when they owned it and left them when you bought it however long ago that was. As far as bigger rims.. you're gonna rub pretty good with 22's.. my friend has 20's on his Blazer and he was rubbing with them, even. Look into a body lift if you want 22" rims.

On these trucks stance is everything! You can google pics of blazers rolling on wheels sized from 15" to 22". Only seen a few that didn't look too good and most that didn't were on 20's and up. 22's look absolutely horrid on the truck regardless of generation. They're just too big unless you want the donk look. 20's max and that's with 35 to 40 series tires unless you are willing to lift it some. 4wd is slightly different but 255/45-20 is still max. 18's look the best with a slight drop of 1 to 2 inches and a nice tire size IMO. With the right wheel/tire combo it will look far better than just going with the largest wheel possible look.
