Default Making 99 Blazer look wider !

Hi All, Any ideas on how to make my 99 Blazer look wider ? I attached a picture from the side, but from the rear it looks a bit "high and narrow" high is good but not narrow ! I'm more interested in suspension / tyre ideas than body kits, oh and it needs to be cheap....

there is no cheap way that I can think of. The cheapest thing I can think of is fender flares or some spacers to make the wheels stick out more but that would look kind of strange without it lifted.

Wheel spacers are cheap.

Depending on how "cheap" your talking, you can get wheels with less backspacing. Cragars are around $50/wheel.

ok, have to ask, as a four door owner....where did you get flares to fit??????????

looks great, i would go with the cragar option - soft 8 i think they are called.

i too have questions about that wider stance...which is better option spacers or adapters, i know it all depends on what you want for "space".
doesnt having spacers require longer wheel studs?
then where would you get them, part of spacer kit?

the spacers on autoanything are really not cheap (in my opinon,price wise) they slide over your existing lugs and im not sure if you need extended studs or not.

Body Lift

Wheels

31x10.5-15 Tires

That's just my opinion. Your rig, do what you want. You can find the body lift cheaper but I just found one and linked it to give you an idea of what to do.
