Will these rims fit?

So to start off I have a stock height blazer, no sag in front or rear (installed new components 2 weeks ago) and want to get some summer rims and tires. I am looking at the Ion Alloy 186 but have been told by the manufacturer they are not sure if it will fit. I really want the Ion Alloy 133 but he said they will stick out 3-4". I will link both sites here because they list all the info about offset and bolt pattern. I wouldn't mind the rims sticking out a bit more, maybe make them flush with the fenders. But if anyone knows how to size these things I would be much obliged.

I love the look of the 133 but know they may not work. Let me know what you guys think. Oh, and I am running stock tire size of 235/75R15. I don't want any rub as I plan on taking her off the beaten path when I do my camping expeditions.

With the offset being at -27mm (1"+/-) and the rim width being 8", take half the rim width (4), plus the offset (1), and measure out from the caliper, and that should show you roughly how far just the rim would stick out. With a 235/75, you're going to see around a 9.3" wide tire, subtract the rim width (8), which leaves with a the tire being 1.3" wider than the rim. Take that 1.3" and divide in half (sticking out on both sides), and that'll leave you with .65". Add that to your earlier measurements of the rim (roughly 5") which would give you an end size of 5.65" from the caliper. Just take a front wheel off and measure from that caliper facing that 5.65".
This will show you just how far the wheel and tire combo for the 133 will stick out.

I just ordered a set of the 186's and was worried about them fitting to. I was a little confused about the offset thing vs backspace. I am used to BS. I just found a converter and figured it out to be a little over 5.2" BS. Which isn't bad at all compared to stock 6" BS. Someone please correct me if I am wrong here though.
