Default Rims/tires for a stock 96 4wd 4door

hey everyone...

First off...know that i am new to trucks/blazers. I usually play with my 2004 Mach 1...it's a speed thing.
I have a 1996 Blazer LS and it has the weak looking stock rims/wheels on it. I want to add some beef to it!! I drive my blazer off road, through snow, and to and from work in the winter. Does anybody have some suggestions, i don't wanna go to crazy, and don't want it to look goofy either. If anybody has pics that would be GREAT!

Take a look around the forum. This board alone has tons of info on good "beefy" A/T tires you could look at getting. If you'd like different rims take a look into Cragar Soft 8's. They're probably the most common aftermarket rims for the blazer.

you're really limited with these 2nd gen trucks, about 30 x 9.5 is the largest you can go on stock suspension.

and if you start going out on the off-set (less than the stock 6 inches), you're gonna run into damaged fender syndrome.

stick with the stock 235/75/R15's and just get some mean rubber. it'll save ya some damage, & give soem clearance for compression on the trails.
