new wheels opinions
 

im lookin for some new wheels for my blazer with the factory backspacing of 6". So far ive found two that i like but i would loke some more opinions on which of the two to get and if anyone knos of another place to find factory backspaced wheels for a 2000 4x4 blazer i would love to have that link. Im planning on doin 2" shackle and 1.5" t-bar crank so i can fit 31x10.5 r15's. Here are the two that im lookin at now. what do yall think?

I like the protocols better than the other ones. Did you find them in our bolt pattern?

Here they are on a Regal. They make the rim look bigger than it is, which is good:

you don't need the stock backspacing to run 31's with a tbar crank and shackles I just wouldn't recomend getting anything wider than 8 inches with 4 in backspacing. imo they look more like rims that go on a car. I'd be going for a more tough look since your are trying to lift it. those would look pretty nice on a blazer if it was lowered I think

so ur sayin i can fit 31's without rubbin with 4" backspacing and nuthin more than 8" wide? If so then thats a whole lot better because i didnt really like the look of stock bckspacing.

I'll get pics of (what i believe) are one of those 2 rims, ON A BLAZER lol. I see it in town very often.

I only rub when I'm offroading and it is minimal. I'd say if you stick with 15x7s and no less than 4" backspacing you shouldn't rub at all. there is not really a big difference in 15x7s and 15x8s when you are looking at them but you will have a little more room in the wheel wells to prevent rubbing. the backspacing makes a big difference in the look of your truck thou. I hated how the stock wheels made the rear end look like a "bubble butt". and even with the different backspacing with the rear wheels you can put spacers so the back wheels are even with the front

your blazer looks awesome! now i gotta look for some rims with 4" or more backspacing. Do you kno of places to look?? im dont really want to spend more than $125 per wheel.

i would like to see that. thanks

try summitracing.com and 4wheelparts.com they both have good selections and a lot of different rims in your price range.

thanks alot! as you can tell im kinda new i had all of these plans for my blazer about a year ago and found this forum then when i had about $2000 saved up i was going to do all the mods then she decided to randomly misfire and i spent all of that savings to get her running right again. now im bck to doing little mods one at a time. eventually ill have her the way i want.

Well, if you were still thinking about those protocols... Here's a member's truck with those same wheels.
