Default Rims/Rubbing

Hi. I need some advice. Im considering getting new rims and a 2" BL and I was just looking for some advice. (anything...good lifts...bad lifts...advice on installation) I also found a set a rims I really like and im wondering if I will have rubbing issues. (a link for the rims is below) I'm probably going to stay with 31" tires for right now, I just don't know much about the rims.

Sorry, I can't help here.
Just want to say that's a good choice of rims.
They'd look great on my Blazer. (in BLACK, of course) LOL

Those tires are going to stick out quite a bit and will cut down on the tire size you can safely run without rubbing. How bad they will rub depends on how you expect to use your vehicles. If the worst thing it will see is speed bumps and the occasional curb, you likely will not have too much trouble, but if you expect to wheel it...

Well im not the everyday offroader so i thought i wouldnt have to much trouble. What is your guys' opinion on the t-bar? I was trying to decide if i wanted to crank it up but ive heard alot about it being hard on the other suspension parts. I would only crank it up probably 1 inch so i didnt know if it was worth it or just a waste of time? any suggestions?

You can go up to 1.5" without really punishing the ball joints / cv shafts, but go higher...
