Default Another question on wide wheels

Im looking to throw some more agressive looking wheels on my 2000 jimmy 4dr. ive searched alot of sites and threads but cant get a good answer. i dont want to run rear spacers. i want my tires to stick out past the fender equal to what a 4'' backspace looks like on the front. what i figure the rear needs 3'' backspace. i liek the cragar soft 8 rims but they dont have a 3'' backspace. what backspace do i really need to acheive my goal. my tires are 30. 9.50's. thank you

why would you not want to run spacers?

Because i am weary of running spacers on such a heavy vehicle. I run spacers on my mustang . I spent 120 bucks for what I thought were quality and the weren't even hubcentric. I also plan on a v8 swap next spring so the weight of the truck with the added power just dosnt seem like it will mix well. Imo

Weight shouldn't be an issue. I have a friend running 1" bolt on hubcentric spacers on his 01 Denalli without any issues

Shoudn't need spacers with cragars, they will already stick out about 2"

but the spacers would have the rear sticking out the same so that his Blazer didn't look light in the a$$
