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.

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.

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.
