Default Need Help with Wheels

Okay, So I'm trying find a set of these wheels.

http://www.4wheelparts.com/Wheels/Rock-Crawler-Series-52-Flat-Black-Powder-Wheel.aspx?t_c=11&t_s=209&t_pt=100021&t_pl=101829& t_pn=PCW52-5865F


I've got a 98 4x4 4Dr Blazer. I just need to know if these will fit without having to do backspacing or any other type of mods. I want to put 31x10.5s on these wheels also. If so, Could anyone help me to get these to fit?

Thanks Ryan.

That kind of backspacing is gonna rub with 31"s and just a t-bar crank. I would do the body lift before putting them on.

Those are very similar rims to the Cragar Soft 8's and the Pro comp wheels. The price is pretty much the same and they come in 4" or 5" backspacing. You're better off to get those as the 3.75" BS will more then likely rub. Stock is 6". Either that or do a bandido said and get a bigger lift.

So, I should get the 3.75" Backspace? Or the Cragar Soft 8's with the 5" backspace? Or I might just paint my stock wheels black. Stockers with 31's will fit correct? Sorry if this is beating a dead horse. Just want to make sure.

No...you should NOT get the 3.75" backspace. You will have issues if you get that small a backspacing. Keep it 4" or above.

I really want those Pro Comps. Could I by wheel spacers or those junk? Or I might just paint my stock wheels black. Stockers with 31's will fit correct? Sorry if this is beating a dead horse. Just want to make sure.

These ones are
  • 15x7, 5 on 4.5 Bolt Pattern
  • Backspace = 4.5 in.

Yep, you can put 31 x 10.50s on the stock 7" wide wheels.

Those should would fine for you. You shouldn't have any issues fitting 31's with the heigh you have. They will fit on stock rims no problem too. The rims you're buying are the same size as stock, so nothing would be different except the backspacing (which will be fine). I wouldn't recommend wheel spacers. There's no need for them in your case.
Also, I just want to point out a lot of these rims don't come with those chrome centre caps you see in the pic. A lot of them are extra for the centre caps. Just something to keep in mind when you order them.

EDIT: haha damn, bandido beat me to the reply!

Thank you Guys. Saved me a lot of looking around. The chrome center cap I could care less about. I wanted them to be all black anyways. Thank you again,
Ryan.
