I have the same question I was looking at 15x7 rims with 235/75r15 tires on them will they rub against the frame in the front when I turn? And does anyone have 15x7's on their blazer?

98chevyblazer, most Blazer's come with either 235/75r15 or 235/70r15 on 15x7 wheels so no, you won't have a problem.

mross45640, I think the highest backspacing I've seen on cragar 15x7's is 4.5" Unfortunately, there aren't many wheel options with the correct 6" backspacing and 51mm offset. I am running 15x7 with 4" backspacing and really like the look of the slightly wider stance. You shouldn't encounter any problems if you're using a stock size tire. I went up to 31x10.5 and had to trim my fenders as well as crank the tbars some in order to have enough clearance to turn properly.

So I shouldn't have a problem even though mine on now are 15x6?

Yours should be 15x7 unless someone has swapped them out.

Do you have any pics with the wheels I could see?

I'm assuming you're talking about mdehoogh's truck. Here's his build thread, the pics you're after start on page 4: https://blazerforum.com/forum/builds...8-build-50833/

Yeah there are some pics in the link above.
Here's another pic that kind of shows the stance
