I just purchased a 1993 Full Size 2 Door Blazer, I am looking at replacing the factory wheels (size 16) with some American Racing (A69 series) wheels, size 17x8. I have found several that fit with my bolt pattern (6x5.5). My question is...is there a big diffrence in a 17x8 wheel vs. a 17x7 wheel?

Thanks for any help or thoughts.

Besides being 1" wider, no not really.
With the 8" wheel you can go as wide as 12.5", on the 7" 11.5".
