20, 19 or 18"rims on a blazer

[BLAZ1N]

i know s10's have a different ride height and sidewall size so im asking just you blazer guys


if i get 20" rims what size tire would be the same size diameter as a factory tire?

same thing for 18's and 19's

also....

if i get 20's with a medium to low sidewall height, will a 2-3 drop rub?

what about a 3-4 drop?


i dont know much about tires and rims, but im trying to learn

if you could, please tell me what you are running if its 18" or bigger

rim size, tire, rim offset, if you have adapters....blah blah blah


thanks guys, dave

what i did was found a tire calc and used a little trial and error till i found the size(s) that i wanted. go to this site: http://www.dakota-truck.net/TIRECALC/tirecalc.html and go down to the left. set Tire A as your stock tire and then whatever you can find in a 20/19/18 that is a popular size for Tire B, select the bullet that says Compare Tire A to Tire B and see how close a match it is and then you can go from there.

i rub a little bit but thats just the tire on the frame. im rolling 20x8.5 with a 245/40/20 tire and a 2/3 drop. looks good and rides better then a 35 series tire.
