Default Cragar ss rims for a 95 blazer 4wd

I found a really nice deal on a set of cragar ss rims and i wanted to know if they would fit on a 95 4wd ls blazer. the measurements are as follows; Cragar: 15x7, bolt pattern-4.75", offset-3mm, backspacing 4-1/8"... i'm not too sure about the backspacing and offset on my current rims but everything else matches the cragar rims, thanks in advance for any help

They will stick WAY out. Your stock rims are 6" back spacing.

I wouldnt say wayyyyyy out...you'll get a wider track, definitely though. My rims have 4.5' backspacing. I will say though, 235/75/15 stock tires look a little interesting with the wider track... Are you planning on new tires any time soon?

Eh...I suppose so...I think I'm just used to mine. I forget the stock blazers have the wheels tucked up under the body.

Some states require tires to be "under the body". By pushing them out, you may be required to have fender flares to cover them back up.

Rims are 15x8 with 4.5' backspacing, so mine go out ~1.75' wider than stock. I love the wider stance, but NC has no exposed tread law..

These pics are pre any lift. I just stuffed the 265/70s in the wells and tried to drive [:-]




It's pretty much ZR2 track width....without the flares
