Yeah, I kinda like they design of them but it seems like alot of people run those and like every mustang has that same rim design.

I was browsing around earlier and found http://www.voxxwheel.com/component/v...&category_id=1
which I don't know if it would look good on a blazer or not but they look decent on a GTO and it would be cheaper

Would the offset work out?
and does any idea as to what size tire I would have to run if I tried to run a 17" rim?

You'll need a 60 series tire if your stock tires are 70's...

If your stock are 75's (like mine) you'll need a 65...

They're not exactly the same dimensions, but they're only a few milimeters off.

Tire calculator results:

Here's the link to the site: http://www.1010tires.com/TireSizeCal...?action=submit
Get your stock tire size off your truck because it may be different than what I used and then go from there...

ALSO those rims appear to be 5x4.5" bolt pattern rims... thus they won't fit.

Blazers are 5x4.75", or 5x120.7mm. The 2wd has 4.5" of backspacing...

I think they should fit
http://www.discounttire.com/dtcs/fin...&rw=&rc=COBINT

my tires are 205/75/R15

You think I would have problems with rubbing if I went with a ???/65/R17 like you stated?

Is your blazer a 2WD or 4WD? That will make the difference in weather you need a positive offset wheel or not.

Same overall diameter... you should be okay, depends now on your offset. I know that those Torque Thrust rims I showed you will fit...

Ok thanks I've decided between two wheels and can't decide which one I like more.
the torque thrust come in various offsets http://www.jegs.com/p/American-Racin...63968/10002/-1
I wonder how much I should be looking for.

Replica Wheel C6 Vette (silver finish)


or
Voxx MG-3 (Silver machined lip finish)

I'm pretty sure those A.R. rims will fit with 4.5" backspacing (backside as listed on their the A.R. site) and the 0 offset.

I'm starting to think silver would look weird on a white car, what do you guys think?

I'm starting to lean towards something like
