What was the backspacing/offset of the wheels you installed? what size tires?

They are 16" firebird wheels, they have the same offset as the stock blazer wheels. I am running 235/70R16s

I keep meaning to do mine. And I want to get some gap guards. Have you thought about those?

Oh that's crazy, what caused them to poke out so far before getting the rear spacers?

The firebird wheels never poked out. The 15" IROC wheels that I used to have have a different offset and they stuck out.

Durable rubber, covers the gaps behind the wheels. Front between inner fender and frame, where exhaust and spark plugs are exposed, and rear gap between frame and body.

Oh yeah. I am in need of those for sure. mine were already torn when I got it. I am wondering how hard it would be to make some out of some heavy duty rubber sheeting from like home depot or lowes.
