Whats up Im luke, I have a 99 blazer 4 door 4 wheel drive, it already has 31's and a 3 inch body lift (which i would rather have a suspension lift but can't afford it) NOw it sits high and narrow, are wheel spacers good to make the stance a little wider? And is it safe? cuz i have a newborn that will be riding around in it 2.

Welcome to the site. I would rather look for a set of 2wd s10 wheels or camaro wheels. They have an approx back spacing of 4", so that will cause the wheels to stick out past the fenders about 1.5"-2" which will give you the wider stance. I wouldn't do wheel spacers on all 4 wheels.

welcome. and I've noticed that its cheaper to buy new rims than spacers. also a 2 in suspension lift isn't very expensive. Take a look around you might find some things out that you might not have known

Welcome to the site! Like the others have stated I also would not go with spacers on all 4 wheels, new rimes with bigger spacing would work best.
