So my dad told me since Dhristmas just went by and i didnt get much and that my bday is coming up he'd get me wheels and tires for Christmas/bday (about damn time...was supposed to get like a year ago)

Here goes my question. I figured i'd go P205/75r15 but the tires i want dont come in that size the smallest is 215/75r15.
Was wondering how much bigger those would be? I am a tire noob so yea.

Also i am probably going with these wheels. Not sure if ima do black or polished yet
DC-1 - Black
Since i can't get those ^^
Gonna edit some more in as i find em

So dad just said i could run a 235 75 r15 with no problem so i aint to worried about it. Now i have to look for bolt pattern and such. Tell me what you think of them rims

I like the black/silver alternationg one. What color car are they going on though?

**Gangsta_Redneck** · January 27th, 02:04 AM

they'll be going on this

I think the blacks with bf goodrich all terrains will look clean on it once i tint the windows.(for some reason i think tinted windows makes rims/wheels stand out better. Also if i clean it up and keep it clean)

***martix_agent*** · January 27th, 02:07 AM

def get the black/silver ones.

What are the tires you are looking at? The tires will have a listed minimum and maximum rim width.

With that said, 215 sounds too narrow for those 8" and 10" wide rims. I've got a 9" wide rims on the Cobra and they use 265's.

I am looking at bf goodrich all terrains T/as Dad said that a 235 75 r15 would work

***Dooms*** · January 27th, 02:27 AM

BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A 235/75SR15 are made for a 6"-7" rim. They might fit on an 8" wide rim, but they'll be stretched out of spec. I would go a bit wider on the tire if you can or a bit narrower on the wheel.

im currently running 15x 7 snowflakes with 31x10.50x15 goodyear wrangler at for now until lift is on.

**Gangsta_Redneck** · January 27th, 02:56 AM

hmmm. I don't know how much wider i could go and i don't like it when tires are very narrow looking. You think they would run fine on the 8" wide or should i not even take the chance?

Those tires would actually be pretty much the perfect size for the 8" wide rim he's looking at.

Edit: Do they rub at all on there with the stock height? The Rodeo and the Blazer are pretty much the same trucks, so if they work on one they should work on the other just fine.

**Gangsta_Redneck** · January 27th, 03:13 AM

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH i am starting to get mad. I am reading that the bolt pattern on my blazer is 5 x 4.75 All they sell for that rim is 5x4.5. Gonna get outside tomorrow and measure it. I hate lookin into this **** cause it is really pissin me off wouldnt make me to mad. But i really like the rims

***Dooms*** · January 27th, 03:34 AM

Yea, looking for new tires and wheels is a PITA. There are a lot of variables you have to make sure are right or you can really get screwed over.

Edit: Here is a calculator for measuring 5 lug spacing:

Here's another website that tells you what else to check:

**Gangsta_Redneck** · January 27th, 03:58 AM

measure with the lugs off or on?

no rubbing. sitting next to my friends blazer though looks like the front would defiantly rub.

**Gangsta_Redneck** · January 27th, 03:03 PM

i got a long way i can go with the torsion bars though. I could get a good 2 inches off them

I just hate the fact that i can't get these rims. Guess i better start looking for some more

Gonna edit some new ones in at the top as i find them
