Which rim??

Getting ready to buy new tires.. and trying to decide which rims to put on the blazer... The rear rim is the ones on it now

Should i go with the back rim or the front rim?

Thanks!

Rear looks better IMO but turn the white letters in.

Re: Which rim??

I like the front rims better....but damn them front tires are big..What are they,35s?If you would attempt to put them on that K5 with the current no lift I think there would be some rubbing....but,you are getting new tires so it dont matter much on the tire size of it currently

Re: Which rim??

I like the fronts, I have 35's on "GQ" and it has a 4/6 lift, no rubs, but no wheeling

Re: Which rim??

At first I liked the back rim, then looking again I think I prefer the front rim better. Will it clean up good?

Re: Which rim??

Change it up for awhile... Run the front for a bit, when ya get tired of them switch back to the outlaws.... Either way though it looks sweet...
