Default back with a new blazer(jimmy) wheel related question..

well a few years ago i sold my 95 blazer, and ended up owning a few mazdas, fords, and then an Audi a4. found this jimmy for a good price so had to buy it . its 2000 jimmy, 4.3 , 4x4 .
Tires were shot, and i work at a shop so i ordered in a set of 31.1050.15 bf's. and ordered up a PA 2" body lift. I know i am going to have to run a different wheel so i dont rub, however i am wondering if a 2wd 15 alloy will stick the tires out a little further so it doesnt rub. also not sure if the hub on the 4x4 model will be too big to fit in the 2wd wheel... any help would be much appreciated

pic below of the new beast;
and my DD 2000 audi a4 1.8t (many many mods)

2wd wheels will fit, it will stick out a bit more.

If you rub with the 4wd wheels, I think you'll have more rubbing problems with a 2wd wheel.

thanks for the info, i test fitted a 2wd wheel today on my lunch break, and there isn't any difference. going to look into a set of those steelies, and hope the local supplier has a set in stock. however i live in a rather small town and doubt anyone is going to stock a set.. any ideas online to pick up a set for a decent price?
