on my '91 LT1 S10 Blazer. Stock height. OE door sticker says 205/75/15. Think I've been recommended 275/60/15, currently it has P255/70/15 on it. Driving is mostly all downtown city and around town, making three point turns down town trying to cram it into the smallest parking spot possible. Would like to stay within a reasonable budget..

What brand? Would be awesome to find used, but not having much luck. This what it looks like now -

235/75R15, Goodyear still makes a wrangler that size.

A 275 is about 11 inches wide and would rub up front most likely.

Should I just buy these for the rears and another used pai when they come along?

235/75r15 is the OE size for a Bravada apparently, so it should work here unless GM did something silly.

Goodyear Wranglers (the basic ones like those) don't seem to be very well regarded in the Jeep community, fwiw. 235 75 15 is an immensely popular size for Cherokees and the like, should be plenty of options both new and used.

What sort of tire are you looking for? Something sporty, something with some degree of off-road traction, or just round black and holds air?

How bout some 5th gen Camaro takeoffs? I think the plain Jane steelies would look cool on your blazer and should be about the right height.

If it is 4wd you should go with four. AWD with a differential in the transfer is another story.

Its RWD right now. I just want tires that are not loud on road and will give me good ability for turns. No off road. Just city driving. It does have a big v8 so maybe sporty?

I think these would look pretty sweet. I've seen plenty of sets for cheaper than that as well with nearly new tires, because the bro that bought the Camaro had to have 22s on it immediately.

Guess this means you got all the other problems sorted?

I second some other gm takeoff wheels, cheaper than new tires usually and gets rid of those wonky looking chrome 15s

I thought 5th gen Camaro wheels were a slightly different pattern. Corvette wheels however...

I got some of the issues sorted. Reason why I'm sorta being cheap on tires as I can spend the money on they drive train.

I need to find some good takeoffs that will fit the blazer then.. I'm not a fan of black rims. Keep in mind too truck has a lot of chrome on it as the chrome trim is new and shiny

Google says 5x120, should bolt up just fine in place of the stock 5x4.75.

What SUV or car would be a good candidate for take offs on CL?

In reply to Coldsnap:

4wd S10/Blazer, Olds Bravada, C4/C5 Corvette, and 4th gen F-body. There are probably more but those are the ones I can think of. 2wd S10s and 3rd gen f-bodies will have the wrong offset so they'll stick outside the body.

Rallys with trim rings and centercaps look good on these. Atleast my buddys did but his was alot lower and an all black truck.

I believe those second set of rallys you posted may be 5x5 bolt pattern.

Looks like a ton of the wheel options will have the fronts sticking out a lot since the positive offset.

What wheels are these? I think you can see the fronts sticking out a bit due to 4x4 offset. I'd like to make my s10 look like this too. take off tire swing arm, get 4x4 going, de chrome wheels and fender gauards, and dumbo side mirrors back on.
