Re: Anyone running 12" Rims on there Blazers?
What size tire to you plan? I had some 15x12 Bart's with 35 14 Ground Hawgs, and the wheel was too wide and heavy in my opinion. I ran 10" Centerlines on my 35 14.5 Mickey's, and that was a good fit. I have 36 12.5 16.5 on 9.75 wide rim now which is a good size for 12.5 width also.

Re: Anyone running 12" Rims on there Blazers?
Mike has the million dollar question....What tire size are you planning on running? With my tires being 19.5 wide I couldn't go with anything less than a 12 inch wide rim, and can't find anything but steel wheels in 12" inches wide and 8 lugs.
I typo'd my first post, those Boggers are 39.5 x 19.5. |

I would go with 10" wheels for a 33 12.50 that way the bead won't look bulged. I have 37 12.50 on 10" wheel and it looks square. I would take a pic for you but it's raining out, good ole W WA State.

Re: Anyone running 12" Rims on there Blazers?
Sorry ColoradoK5...I'm of no help...just had to say that in deep's ride looks raw!
I did do a few google searches, and the Nitto tires in that size say the rim should be 8.5-11 inches.

Re: Anyone running 12" Rims on there Blazers?
I'd have to agree with the above posts, a 12.5" tire on a 12" rim will look wide at the bead. Give a fat in the middle look. The 19.5 on the 12's I have might be a bit narrow at teh bead, but that's the way I bought it. I'd go a bit wider next time but have other priorities right now.

JMHO...12.5" tires look goofy on 12" rims. Need at least 14.5" wide tires for that rim.
