Default What soft 8s will fit

What soft 8s will fit my 99 blazer ls 4wd 4 door stock?

It is not lifted, though I plan on lifting it when I get money. What soft 8s can I buy that will fit the stock blazer without having to file anything down? I just want pretty much plug and play rims on it for now.

15x7 or 8 with 4.5"bs and you shouldn't have any issues. It also depends what tire size you intend to run.

Maybe wait a bit till someone else chimes in and see what they are running for soft 8s I have pro comp rock crawlers with 4.5BS. I thought the soft 8s came in 4.5 but I could be wrong. I'm on my phone right now or I would help you search sorry.

Thanks again rexm.


Are pro comps in the same price range as soft 8s?

You need 15x7 rim 5x4.75 bolt pattern. The 15x8 rim will rub on the brake caliper and will also stick out further. that can be fixed by filing down the caliper a little but the 15x7 will work just fine with no mods (so ive heard). you may rub a little with 30" tires but not too bad.

Here is exactly what you need and its for the best price ive found shipped: Cragar Soft 8 Black Steel Wheels 15"x7" 5x4.75" BC Set of 4 3975734P(4) | eBay

Oh and i think they used to come in 4.5 BS but not any more. But you really wont notice the .25" difference..

Edit: Ok so i did a little reading and i guess some people have had problems with the 15x7's rubbing also. But filing down the caliper is really easy. Take a look through HERE and that should give you enough info

Hmmmm that's good info cherry thanks! I have 15x8s and I don't rub on the caliper at all. Is this a soft 8 thing I just wanna make sure I give others accurate info in the future.
