Default new to trucks looking for info on wheels and tires

Sup guys,

I just picked up a 01 blazer lt 4 door. nice little truck. It will be my daiy and to trailer my car to track days and what not.

I want to toss some wheels on it.

will a 15x7 5x4.75 with a 6mm offset fit nice or will it poke. Was looking at a 15x5 with a -13mm off set but im thinking that will stick out alot. i dont mind a little poke.

Also is there any link to tire info. i'm used to talking about tire sizes like 225 50 16 not 33x10.5 yada yada different language to me and i'd like to under stand, lol

Welcome!

This will help to convert metric to standard and vice versa

Linky Link


The link calculates approximately, but relatively, so say you look up a 31/10.50/15. It will show 267 for the first number. Well we know they go up in 5 increments not 1. So the closest would be a 265. So you have to take that calculator with a grain of salt if you know what I mean.

Custom rims, wheel tire packages for your ride - RIMSnTIRES.com

This one includes wheel specs, and you can compare two different sizes.
