i got the soft 8's on mine with no lift i fit 30'' tires on, i had to hammer the fender wall in a tiny bit behind the tire where the mud flaps hang, but it looks fine. thats with a 4.5'' back spacing. i dont think soft 8's have a higher backspacing then 4.5 or 4.25?

You really need to pay attention to backspacing or you will rubbing the front at every turn and bump... You can get away with 4.5"BS in a 7" wide wheel with no lift as long as you stay with the stock size tire. A 2" BL will let you run 30x9.50-15s on these wheels.

Ill probally end up getting the 4" backspaceing because im going to run the stock tire size but any idea about the offset?

4" backspacing without any lift or minimal trimming will likely rub. With a stock blazer you want between 4.5" and 6" of backspacing or else modifications will be neccesary.

Alright please dont make fun of me lol, but they show chrome lug nuts or lug covers in the pics of the soft 8's do they come with the lug nuts or do I have to buy them? only reason im asking because I have no idea and just want to be prepared.

94gmcjimmy 09-17-2009 06:57 AM

Normally you have to buy the lugnuts and centercaps separatly

PaulO2288 09-17-2009 01:50 PM

Alright well I did have to order the center caps so I did, Now my question is Ill have the rims here tomorrow at my house, and the caps on monday how exactally do the caps go on? Do the caps slide in through when the rim is off? It was saying something like a push through.

You will have to take the rims off and they slide through from the back with a lip that bholds against the backside of your rim when you put the tire back on. You should post some pics when your done i would like to see how they look. Might have to get some soft 8's for my ride as well.

PaulO2288 09-17-2009 06:04 PM

Alright i deff will. I have a few before pics and i could update because i tinted my windows with 2.5% all around and also have a new cold air intake, Ill end up haveing the rims tomorrow and the center caps on monday :-(
