Default 33s on 2.5lift, wheel spacers?

I’m installing 33/12.50R15s on my 2000 blazer LS 4x4 two door, it’s running 31s now without rubbing, the rims are 15x8s black bullet holes with beadlock trim. My question is should I invest in a complete 4set of wheel spacers or just get 2 and if I get only 2 what’s the best size I should use and should I use them in front to help turning if the 33s rub or in the rear to even out the stance since the front is wider from the factory? Also- what’s the correct lug pattern? Iv seen MANY different answers, I’m putting my money on it being 5.45 ? - also what’s the cheapest way to add another 2-3inchs lift? It’s got a suspension lift Bilstein shocks,

31s on it, I’m keeping the rims but swapping to the 33s the rims on them are 5lug but not the right bolt pattern unfortunately

The lug pattern is 5x4.75, but I have no idea what wheel spacers you'd need to clear those tires, if it's possible at all with just wheel spacers.

I ran 31x10.5 on my 98 Blazer without issue and used 2" spacers on the rear to make it more even.

I have 32x11.5 on Iroc rims currently with ZR2 axle in the back and front. I also have zr2 flares installed so I cut a lot out already and I still have problems rubbing on a 2" shackle and crank and a 2" body lift. I rub the frame a little bit and then I hit the fender or the wheel well under flex, have yet to grab some buddies to figure out where I'm hammering or cutting but thatll be in the summer when I replace my encoder motor.

Thats a nice blazer! Kinda looks like my 99 with a 2.5 lift and zr2 flares, axles are getting rebuilt atm lol...



Only got 30.5s for now, but plan on going to 31s without the body lift, or 33s with a BL...

Here I was just wondering if I can go to 32s or 33s I have a 4dr lt and 2.5” rc lift and a 2” pa body lift



I also got a tip that the xterra luggage rack fits nicely if you trim the front part abit so I did it
