I am not even sure what you are asking

Are you asking if that tire size is too wide for that rim?

What's your stock tire size? Those 265/70 are going to be a little over 29 1/2 inches tall. They will throw your speedo off.

Yes, I was asking if the tire would be too wide or not for the rim size.

The least of my concern lol, it takes only a few days to get used to reading the speedo differently :D

If I'm not mistaken that's a 7" wide rim & 265s are about an 8.5" wide tire. That's a little too much for that rim size. 235s would be seriously pushing it on those rims but you could do it... I'd recommend 225s.

That's about what I run, but I got 16X8 rims, so they don't have a lot of sidewall. The 235s I had on my 94 worked great.

my old jimmy that Mike (white00s10) has... the wheels are 15x7 with 235/75R15 Michelin LTX M/S

As far as my current blazer. I have 15x7 wheels with 31x10.50 R15
and 15x8 with 31x11.50 R15 Interco LTB

When I bought my 01 Blazer-(used)-the previous owner had
275/60/15's on the same swirly wheels as yours, looked real good
they rubbed in the front before steering lock-reduced u turn-

275's on all four corners-looked great-gas mileage suffered a little!

Did you have to lift your crew cab to get those big meats to fit? I'm trying to figure out if a set of those, or 31 X 10.50's would cause issues in my unlifted 1st gen 4X4.

I tryed 31's on my first gen Blazer and they rubbed bad. If you never turn and stay on road you will be ok though...lol. If you to a tbar tweek and put on some shackles you could but you will rub the back of the front finders and the frame on sharp turns. If you can live with that you will be ok..
