Default Changing tire size.

So right now I have 235/75/15 tires on 15" rims. But soon I want to get smaller tires so that I can lower my blazer back down (don't judge me). I was thinking about getting 215/50/15. Would there be any problem with getting this size handling or suspension wise??? I don't do any 4 wheeling or mudding either.

It's going to look dumb with all the fender gap IMO

should handle better, better acceleration. fuel mileage may suffer on the highway, but may be better in town. if you aren't wheeling it, i can't see any problems. i would suggest a wider tire if you're doing that though, might as well make it handle even better. maybe 245s?
