Backspacing looks way small...The rims look good otherwise. Tires... Not so much.

What is the size on the tires? And do they rub when you turn?

the wheels are great. I couldn't go any bigger on the tires because of the backspacing. I thought they were 10 inch wheels when i got them ($175 for all 4) but when i went to get tires for them they measured at 10.5". So i had to go with the small tires. They are 275/60/15. My blazer has never seen mud or trails. It is my wife's daily driver so i didn't want to go too high. I cranked the torsion bars 5 turns and put the 2" shackles on the back. They rub the back of the front fender when turned all the way to the stops. It will work until this summer when i lift it high and put mud tires on it. If she lets me.
