to balance the rear and front you need to buy 1.5" wheel spacers(adapters)
look on ebay for camaro - corvette hub centric.

thats guessing that the backspacing is the same on all the wheels you put on.

Assuming you have a 4wd blazer, and all the wheels are the exact same, this is normal. I don't think it looks that bad. But I also would never put spacers on my wheels because IMO they aren't safe.

But if you decide to get spacers, at least get quality hub-centric spacers. If you get the cheap ones or you get lug-centric, they are more likely to snap and your wheel fall off.

Can I get spacers since the wheels I got aren't universal? They only have 5 holes and those line up with my studs. Don't soacers change the lug pattern for the wheels?

does it matter what year camaro or corvette? and can i swich back to my factory wheels and still use the spacers if i wanted to?

i think im just confused on how spacers work. do they bolt to my studs and change my lug pattern? sorry im not very familiar with these

Yes, i just bought some from ebay, from a seller called cjbargins. msg him. he will point you in the right direction.

I couldnt stand the back not lining up with the front, iv had them on for about 3 days now, and i love them so far.

They bolt right up to your hubs. and the wheels bolt up to the spacers..

Just make sure you follow the directions to the T, as in torqing everything to 95 pds

Here is the channel on ebay.
