Default 2" body lift spacer advice

Hey guys i love the site. I have a 98 blazer that i put a 2" body lift on and love it so far...However, i hate the look of the tires and how the rear is so far in compared to the front. I've read up quite a bit on wheel spacers and such and was just wondering what you guys were running with just a 2" body lift to make your stance wider. I don't really want to do new rims just because of the expense. Thanks for any input

I have seen some people run wheel spacers to solve that issue, with no major problems. I have on my blazer 2wd s10 rims, they have a spacing that forces them out just a little more, but you still have the problems with the fronts sticking out more. What you can look into doing is getting a rear axle from a ZR2, the wider track width will help your issue. As for a cheap solution though wheel spacers would work good.

I'm running 1.25" spacers on the back and mine seem to be fairly even.

Though, I am running a ZR2 rear end.
