what size wheel spacers to get
I have a 2002 2 door 2wd blazer. I just had pepboys put on some 30x9.5 definity dakota m/t's. I love the aggresive look of the tires but it looks weird now. I know some people like wheel spacers and some people say that they are junk. I don't want to open up that argument again lol. I am just curious as to what size i should get. I know that I should get wider in the back than the front because the rear track width is narrower than the front. I havn't been able to find a good answer as to what would look good. Should I get 1.25" in the front and 1.5" in the rear or what. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

unless your ride is lifted i would just add to the rear.
you might run into tires rubbing if they stick out to far in the front.
it just seems like they would with all the backspacing issues that float around here.

ok that sounds good. In that case what size spacers would I need to make the back even with the front? Also anybody have a good brand or one to stay away from? I was also curious where the front would rub? Is it an issue when turning? I thought that the spacers would keep the tires from rubbing on the sway bar at full lock.

I've got 1.5" in the back and 1" spacers on the front.
Mine rubbed on the sway bar at full lock before the spacers, no rubbing after and the front track is even with back now.

Perfect. That's exactly what I was hoping for. Truck looks awesome by the way. Way better than stock. So I will get some 1" and some 1.5". Also some of the spaces on eBay say that they will not work on front of 2wd truck. Anybody know why this is?

The front hub of 98+ 2wd's have a bigger hub than the rear does, I haven't found any hub centric spacers that will work on the front.
Check my build thread, it has the link for the rear and front spacers

I checked out your truck in the build thread. In there it says 2" in back and in here you say 1.5" on back. I was just curious because it looks spot on which ever you have, I just want to order the right ones. Also still no problems with the front being lug centric?

sorry, I'll have to fix that.
I have 1.5" rear and 1" front.
No problems at all.
