Thanks guys but now I'm at even more of a problem after reading your replies. I definitely want to get new wheels first and the wheels I was looking at were these http://www.summitracing.com/parts/brw-997581237 but the crossroad I have arrived at is what size to go with? I'm most likely not going to be lifting any time soon (but it is planned for the future). If I go with the 15s should i get 15x8 or 15x7 etc. What's the best wheel size? I want 30 inch tires with an aggressive tread, definitely and I will look into some of the ones you have recommended.

Would a bigger wheel just look ridiculous on a stock height blazer?

Edit: Now I found these http://www.summitracing.com/parts/pc...omp-series-152 which are pretty much the same thing but they are cheaper...I'm not sure if I should go Matte or Gloss paint or even black for that matter. Does anyone have a pewter blazer with these type of wheels on it in either the cast finish or black?

So I just ordered these wheels: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/brw-997573442 Should everything be okay with them? What do you think the biggest tire size I can go is on them?

Without any type of lift I wouldnt go any bigger than 30 inch. As for tread it depends if your on the road more than wheeling or not. I like the rims

Thanks newguy. I'll probably stick with around 30 or 29 just to avoid rubbing at all costs. Probably still gonna go with the A/T just deciding on which brand or not. Might even hit some AS due to all the highway driving I do more than off road driving. I just hope the 4.25 backspace on a 15x7 will widen my stance a little bit and I didn't mess up by not going with the 15x8 4.5 backspace but they also didn't have that in matte, so I don't know.

I have Cooper Discoverer A/T3's and they've been great for highway travel. I generally am on the interstate at least once a week traveling ~30 miles above 75mph and another ~30 doing anywhere from 55-70mph, that all being one way so I do that twice, and I haven't had a problem with them. They balanced great on the stock rims and I haven't noticed much increase in volume, even at those speeds. Plus when I want to play around in the dirt they do great there too

Lazyboyjake thank you, I'm actually interested in the Cooper a/t3s although, I'm not worried about volume cuz I always have my music turned up to obnoxious levels. I have them in my shopping cart along with a few others ever since you mentioned them earlier in the thread. I just wish they were a little more aggressive looking you know. Do you happen to know how they are in sand? Oh and I also took your advice from your earlier posts and ditched those stupid mudflaps haha.

Yeah, I got you. And no. I don't live anywhere near sand so they haven't had to tackle them. And way to go on the mudflaps. Those things are just useless in my opinion.

It will widen your stance, almost 2 inches on each side

What size are they like the aspect and stuff? I'm going to buy within this week, only thing I have to go off of is the way they look on your blazer, which I like.
