Wanting a new look.
Would these rims fit my 96 Chevy Blazer 4x4. I want a wider wheel stance, I hate how my rims and tires set in. I plan on getting maybe some 30x10.50's on it later or 31's if they dont rub. tell me what you guys think. Thanks

Those would fit but why not some cragar soft 8's? They never fail to look good on Blazers IMO

Hey, cool another '96 lol.
But on to the topic, yes those will fit, but they are going to stick waaay out because the backspacing is so low of a number (3.44).
When getting those installed, check your wheel studs. My 'maro wheels have a backspacing number of 4.5 which stick out quite a bit and my studs didn't have much room for lug nuts. Just my .02.
Also, watch for rubbing on the lower valence or fender since those tires will stick out a good bit.

the 3.44 BS combined with the 15x8 will stick out. a LOT
that's a 77mm difference in offset compared to the stock 4WD wheels. Look for wheels that are at least 0mm offset if not a little higher

Hey Tibby, I really like the stance of your blazer, the rear tires dont stick way out, but are wider than stock from what it looks like. Thats about what im looking for.
If these rims I like stick out way to far, I wont like that. so i'll pass on mine and find something that would better suit me, now I just got to find out what them craiger soft 8's look like on a blazer and im might go for them. Thanks

I have Procomp Rockcrawler series 52's on mine since I'm personally not a huge fan of the soft 8s even though they do look really good on Blazers. I have 15x8 with 4.5" BS and 31x10.5s and I had to do a good bit of fender trimming even with the 2" rc upper control arms and a 1.5" t-bar crank with 2" shackles. They are about the same price as the soft 8s as well. I think $52 ea. Its all about personal choice but please stay away from anything chrome!!!
Heres a shot of mine...
