That is a lot of tire up front for a 15x7 rim... at least the tires I have mounted on 15x8 are huge, same size...

     I agree with Zieg, so you have a 2wd blazer right ?
#1: The easiest and most obvious solution to any problem is 99% of the time correct.
#2: There is no such thing as impossible, it just takes longer.

I know all tire brands have differences in sizes but here is an example.  This is a Uniroyal but BFG are the same.  This was my $10 CL find I just got, with trim ring.

With the drop spindle and 15x7 you may be better off with a 225/70 or 235/70 up front.  My $.02
