Wheel Size
 
i dont know which wheel im going ot buy yet but my question is which would be better (if any difference at all) 15x7 or 15x8. 4inch back space as well. the tires i have are 255 60 15. (weir di know but that was what was on it when i bought the blazer and i still got good tread) so with that 15x7 or 15x8 if and difference at all?

with a 4" backspace it really is up to u. do u want 3 or 4" of wheel sticking out? it really doesnt matter. the only difference is how much ur tire will "roll" off of the rim. with a wider wheel ur tire isnt gonna stick out off ur rim, but with a 7" wide wheel it will bring ur beads closer together resulting in more tire sticking out past ur rim. more protection of ur rim. also more rubbing on fender or firewall with a wider wheel.

i looked at my tires again and its relly a 255/70/15

i guess what im really saying is will i rub with a 15x8 with these tires?
