Default Rims and Tires I will run... your thoughts

So I have decided on the rims I will run when I get my lift done. I will be doing a 2" RC lift as well as a 2" body lift, so clearence shouldn't be an issue.

For the rims, I have chosen to go with the Cragar Nomad II. I will be getting 15x8 on all 4 corners, with 4.75" of backspacing. However, do you think I should go with a different backspacing combo for the rear? If so, what size and why?






Now, for the tires I am planning on running 31x10.5x15 but am torn between two different ones. The Firestone Destination AT, or the General Grabber AT2... I like them both, but could prolly get the Firestones mounted and balanced for free, as well as with a discount from my cousin who works for Firestone.

Your thoughts ?

The Firestones:


The Generals:



I guess I am more worried about the backspacing of the rims for the front and rear more than anything. I just want all the tires to stick out the same amount from the car.

Let me know what you think!

just pick up some spacers for the rear, mine is 4.5" backspacing and the fronts stick out a lil more but its not really that bad looking. as for the rims i think they'd look good almost the same as mine but chrome. should look really good with the 31s, thats what i'm running but without the body lift (but will be coming soon since i found a job). cant wait to see some pics with all that done.

Actually i have some pics with the 4.5" backspacing if you want to look at my albums, so you get an idea how they will look.

I like the general grabber at2's, they have a nice aggressive looking thread pattern. Btw nice rim choice.

Nice rims, I've heard good things about the Grabbers... but you can get the Firestones for cheap, so I don't know where to point you lmao.

The front tends to stick out a little more than the rear, if you want you can get 2 4.5" backspacing rims in the rear for that extra 1/4", or run spacers unless you don't mind the difference it's not a necessary thing but something that bugs me with my stock Blazer.

I'd defiantly go with the grabbers they are pretty much the same thing as bfg's but cheaper. I think you can put studs in the grabbers too. that is always good for the winter. I like your rim choice I like the "wagon" wheel style I wish they made those in black or I would have gotten those. I wouldn't worry about the rear backspacing too much there is barely a noticeable difference. here is what mine looks like from the back with 4.5" backspacing very similar to what you are going to get
