Default rim questions...

so the next time i buy tires, i would like to get different rims to make my blazer more of my own. i am looking at the cragar soft 8's, i have always liked the look of these rims. my questions is, what is the stock back spacing and what is the offset of the stockers? i want the tires to "stick" out some, so i am looking at 4 inches of backspacing and 0 offset on 5x4.75 bolt pattern. i would like to wrap these in 30inch tires, so i did not know if the tires would rub, i do not go off road much, but once in a while i do like to go. btw my blazer is a 98 ls and stock everything.

from what i have read you need at least 3" of lift to get 30" tires to fit

Stock size for tire is 29". Stock back spacing 6".

You might have an issue with rubbing.
