Hey, im new to this forum and new to the blazer family. i just purchased a 99 4dr. 4x4 and love it so far. I was wondering if someone could tell me why the front tires look like they set out to far past the fenders. The back tires are tucked nicely but the front sit out to much. I am planning on getting some 30x9.50s for it like some that i saw on another blazer that did not have this problem. Feel free to post any comment that may help me out. Thanks.

Is there a difference in the 2wd and 4wd rims and if so how can i tell which ones i have?

 

the dif between 2wd and 4wd stock wheels is the backspacing.
this is my wheel


its a stock 4wd wheel...see how the surface is generally flush across the face.

the 2wd wheels tend to set back in further.

google and you will see the dif. that is an easy example of backspacing.

as far as the rear setting in further on blazers they do.
i put 1.5" wheel adapters on my rear wheels to bring them more in line with the front wheels.

 

Instead of spacing the back wheels out can you bring the front wheels in to match the rear. If done what problems are related.
