problem finding rims?
I've been looking around for some rims but most the websites I look at where you type in your vehicle information almost nothing shows up... Surely there is more that would fit the 5x 120 bolt pattern. Anyone have any suggestions?
I've tried
Americanracing.com
tirerack.com
discounttire.com

Plenty of sites with rims that will fit a Blazer. Just many are`t Blazer specific. Shop by size and bolt pattern. You will have a lot of choices.

I seem to find more if i go with a bigger size I was looking at 16" because my local retailer said that I would probably have rubbing issues if I went with anything bigger like a 17" on my 2wd blazer stock ride height? Or would I have to run really low profile tires to fit it?
Anyone know of any more good websites to look at for rims?

you wont have a problem with bigger wheels if you keep the overall diameter of wheel and tire the same along with same backspacing.

Would I have to run low profile tires to be able to fit a 17"? because I was looking at a 225/60/R16

so long as they arnt bigger than 30" in diameter you should be ok. as far as sites goes i would just google it there are rims that are 17s and 18s out there for your truck.

If you are driving an 84 S-10; your bolt pattern is 5-4.75. In metric it is 5-120.65.
If you are looking up wheels and putting in 5-120 ; chances are you are looking at whels for a MBZ or an Audi. Hope that helps.

225/60/R16 tires wont fit on 17" rims... if you get those tires be sure to get 16" rims..

I know this might sound dumb as I have never shopped for rims before but I notice some sites say whether it's a FWD or RWD wheel is there a difference?
Because I'm having problems finding something that looks good without costing a arm and a leg, most of what I find looks kinda goofy I like 5 spoke.

Do you like the American Racing Torque Thrust wheels?
Go here: http://www.americanracing.com/browse_ar.asp and look at the P/N AR105M7861A, all the right dimensions.
Beautiful wheels IMO. it's got the 4.5" backspacing of your stock 2wd and the correct bolt pattern. They're 17's too! hope this helps.
