The wheels will fit, but the offset(they will push the tire outwards) will limit the tire size that will fit.

thank you for helping me! I have 31/10.50/15 tires on my blazer. Do you think they will fit with any of those wheels?

They fit, but the offset will make it impossible to steer without a substantial lift.

Think about it this way, stock backspace is 6 inches on a 4x4. The lower that backspace number is, the farther they stick out. The more they stick out, the more they get into the fender when you turn.

ohhhhh okay I gotcha. I'm sorry for the inconvenience. I'm new at this stuff and I've been trying to find some help for quite sometime. Thank you for helping me! One more question. Would wheels with 4.25 backspacing work without having to mod? and would that be +6 backspacing or -6 backspacing?

The 4.25 B/S wheels won't work with 31" tires without lift. Assuming you have the same width wheel a 4.25 backspace wheel will push the tire out 1.75" (6" - 4.25" = 1.75") which is far too much to fit a 31" tire without lift. Even with the factory wheels the tires rub a couple spots(as I'm sure you know with your current setup)

well the setup I have now I have factory wheels with no lift and I'm running 31x10.50x15. They don't really rub much at all. So I need to find wheels with a 6" backspacing? Would anyone know any websites as to where I could find some wheels? Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Thank you!

You should be able to run a 31" tire with 4.5" backspacing if you have about 4" lift. A good combo for that would be the 2.5" RC suspension lift or a 1.5" t-bar crank combined with a 2" body lift. You may still need to do a little trimming on the back of the front fender to make sure you clear, but that's not hard to do and if you're careful it will look really good.
