I found a post just 2 days ago, now for the life of me I cant find it. this is why I need to find it is because I know I want 17x8 in the front and 17x11 in the back and I went to the wheel shop today I tell him the size of wheels I want to get and I asked him if he can get me tires also?, the answer was sure no problem, what size do you want? I DONT KNOW?. so do I dare ask for 17 inch wheel pictures and the tire heights please that you using for I can get my new wheels going

I had 17x8 (5" BS) and 17x9.5 (4.5" BS) wheels on my 2wd blazer. I ran 255/50-17 on the front and 275/50-17 on the rear. And 11" wide wheel is going to be tight on the rear. I'd suggest about a 6" BS on and 11" wheel. (That seems like an odd width to me). But,... like I always say,... get out a tape measure and do your own measuring. Every vehicle is slightly different,... and wheel$ co$t too much to gue$$ the $ize!
