Another rims question....
 

I have searched high and low through the threads and have found some info- but the actual calculations are hurting my head🤪. Here is where I am...
1996 2 door Blazer- 4WD.
I have decided to move forward with the RC 2.5” suspension lift, and the performance accessories 2” body lift kits and will be ordering next week. I am replacing the seized engine and some other things while I wait on those parts to arrive and am trying to figure out my tire and wheel combo. I know I want to go with 31’s, but am struggling with the offset/ backspacing issue. What I would like is to have a little tire (1”-2”) sticking out as I am going to be installing fender flares. In order to avoid spacers, what would be a good offset/back spacing combo to give me that little extra clearance and still have a deeper look to the wheel? Thanks in advance.

If you find some 2wd s10/Blazer rims, they will stick out as you want, And will fit perfectly in the fender flares. I'm running 30.5s on zq8 rims and the 2.5 lift. I used to have spacers on the back to level out the wheels spacing, but since sold and am going to put a zr2 axle under when its done getting rebuilt.

More pics in my build thread. And you can find the offset of a 2wd rim with a quick Google...

Here's a link with info on the s10 rims:
