Not trying to be a bummer, but are you sure about that tire size vs rim size.
Years ago I had the 35x14.5x15 on an '85 with 10" rims & it was just right.
That's what Interco recommends too http://www.intercotire.com/tires.php?id=13&g=1
I've seen 14.5 tires on as wide as 12" rims & that looked wrong - like they had to force the tire to seal on it.
Yes, I was concerned too so I asked a few "car" guys and they said it would be fine. I measured these rallies a couple days ago and they come out 13" wide. The guy I bought them from said they were 14" which is what I posted. So I guess it's really a 13" wide wheel on a 14.50 tire which still probably isn't ideal, but definitely better .

I also got another Blazer! A 72 2wd! I'm not even touching this thing until probably next year and after the wifey and I go on a relaxing vacation!
