Rim Size and BackSpacing for 85 Blazer
 

I have an 85 Blazer awating 33x12.50R15 BF Goodrich All Terrains. I want to get the proper Rims. I am pretty sure that 15x10's will be fine.

You guys are the Pro's. What is the Back Spacing that I need to get? 3 5/8 or 4 1/4.

Thanks,

Either should do. 3 5/8 will stick out a little further. Welcome to the board.

Hmmm...

So you are saying that if I get 3 5/8's then my Tires are going to stick out from the Body a little bit?

I like that...

Thanks for your help,

My fronts are almost half way out with 31x10.5's I don't know what kind of backspacing I have or how wide my rims are though, I like how the fronts stick out some though, The backs are about flush I think.

stock wheels
 

Stock rally style wheels are 15x8, with 4 inch backspacing. I have a set on my suburban and pickup.

wow 2 other guys from the [H] forums welcome guys

That is because the front of wider the then rear. GM Did that to help with turning and such.

I bought some nice $150/each Aluminum Spacers (The good ones)for my rear wheels so that all 4 wheels are flush, cause I dont like it that the rear wheels are not as wide as the front. Wider is better!

did you get the ones with studs on them or are you having longer studs put in?

I got the ones that you put on, and the put your wheel on after it, and they bolt direcly onto the wheel, they are really nice ones. I had to get the longer studs to put them on, so that they would be secure. The Blazer looks A LOT better once all the wheels are the same width like that.

where did you end up getting the spacers from?

I had the shop that put my new Rear End get them. The guys name is Brett and he is a serious off-roader. He has them on his Bronco that he is fabricating from Fiberglass cause his other Bronco was rusting out too much. His new one is sick. Hummer Tires, the works.
