Wire rims won't look too cool... go with big mag wheels!
Go to tirerack.com They will tell you exactly what sizes fit and give you examples of what they sell.
That's Simple, It All Depends On What Type Of Rims And Tires You Are Going To Put On Your Truck... Also, If You Want To Make Your Truck An Off-Road Type, You Will Need To Get A New Suspencion Kit... My Friend Has A 1993 Chevy Blazer, And His Truck Sits 39inches Off The Ground!!!! (''thats with the lift kit, rims,& tires included'')
Why not just stick a v-8 in it instead? That's way more impressive than wheels :D
If you want to keep the speedometer accurate but have bigger wheels, the tire has to be a lower profile. The numbers on the tire tell the story. 235/75-15 is 235mm wide, 75% that tall, 15 inch wheel, making the total height of the tire&wheel 28.88 inches. So a 16 inch wheel would require a lower profile tire, like 235/70-16. Also, if it's bigger overall, it might hit the frame when you turn. The offset of the wheel affects this as well. Tirerack.com has a lot of info, but your best bet is somebody in the neighborhood who tried a few things. You could try turning the wheels all the way and measuring between the tire and the nearest part of the frame or body, whichever gets in the way first. If it's, say, 2" away from the frame, you could get a tire that's about 32" overall height before you start to rub, assuming the previous 235/75-15 original tire. You also can run into problems with wheel bearings if you change the angle of things up front.
