Default 32/11.5r15 bfg mud terrains / rims / canuck motorsports keys

Okay heres the deal, ive got a 2000 ZR2 BLAZER, its got 31's on it, stock size, but im running a set of aftermarket aluminum american racing rims, they have 4 inches of backspacing. Now heres what i wanna do those are my winter set. I want another set , i want to find a set of black D window steel rims with only 4 inches of backspacing also. But can i fit 32/11.5 R15 BFG mudders on it? should i go with a 15x8 or 15x7? i know s10s have a positive offset right? I will be putting in a new set of torsion keys from canuck motorsports and a set of shackles in the rear. help here, this is my second s10 4x4, i left the first one i had stock. I usually only have fullsize solid axle chevys, so all this IFS and wheel stuff is new to me. thanks for all the help, comments, and experiences

Why do you only want 4" of bs? The closer you can get to stock (6") the better for your front end and less chance of any rubbing.

You should be okay with a slight tbar crank and shackles to fit 32's but you will probably rub with the bs you are wanting.

Think body lift, cheap and fairly easy plus it doesn't screw with the front end.

Default rims

I would just go with the 8" wide rims so if one day you decide to get 12.5" wide tires you can. As for the backspacing check the procomp steel wheels on 4 wheel parts online there running a special on them now and offer around 3.75" backspacing I believe. If not just check the Cragar soft 8's on summit racing. they have some backsapcing at 3.5" i believe. There only 175 shipped for all four rims!

okay guys, thanks i figured it wouldnt be that bad to fitem, im gonna put the keys on and a set of shackles. so im lookin for like 2 - 3 inches of lift. probably around 2.5 is my goal. ya, im just looking for a set of black steel wheels, the truck is that pewter color that almost every single s10 i see has. ill look at 4wheel parts.i think i will go with a 15x8 just seems like a simple upgrade. thanks alot!
