I've brought it down to these.. which ones should I get? Will 4.25 in backspacing rub?

Cragar 3975734P - Cragar Soft 8 Black Wheels - Overview - SummitRacing.com
U.S. Wheel 044-5734P - U.S. Wheel 044 Series Stealth Crawler Black Wheels - Overview - SummitRacing.com

I kind of like the U.S. Wheels one because I haven't seen them before.

Exactly, I like the U.S. wheels as well. It seems like everybody and there brother's cousin (and sister) has soft 8's. Uniqueness makes a car look sexy imo. And I think anywhere from 4 to 4 1/2 inch backspacing is perfect for the blaze. Makes it have that nice aggressive stance.

But I love the chrome lugnuts, and the Black center cap.

Actually, the 4WD axles and hubs are wider and closer to the sides of the truck so they use higher backspacing on the wheels so the wheelbase is the same width as a 2WD.

And I would go for the wheels in the second link

flat black > gloss black

Don't you mean they use a higher backspacing since the backspacing is 6" instead of 4"?
