Default Input on using these wheels.....

Curious if anyone has slapped these on a 4wd? From what I have read they were on 2wd S10's up until 2000. I like the look and would like to put them on my 2001 4wd Blazer but I'm having trouble finding a consistent number on the backspacing. I don't mind them sticking out a little but I don't want it too much more than what I have now. Thanks in advance. Pictures if anyone has them would be great!

Factory 4wd rims have 6" of backspacing. Measure those, and it'll tell you how far out it will move the wheel.

I have 4.5" backspacing with 10.5" tires, and it doesn't stick out too much, imo. Just a little past the fenders

I ran a set for a short time. I taped off and painted a portion of them, to break up the all aluminum look some.

They stick out a little but not too bad.

Thanks for the info. I actually decided against these and ended up picking up a set of the Zr5 wheels. Now I'm looking for Chevy center caps. The GMC ones are pretty easy to find and if I have to I guess I'll just use them but I'd rather have the Chevy caps.
