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.

.75 in wheel adapters from ebay will even out your track.

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

Though, I am running a ZR2 rear end.
