Searched and not finding answers to my q's
Ok, so I've searched and the answers I found are all different and don't make sense. These are for my 1992 s10 blazer.
I'm looking at wheels, 15x8s front 15x10s in the rear, the specs area as follows:
15x8, 3.75" backspacing with -19mm offset. 15x10, 4" backspacing with -38mm offset.
Will they fit w/o rubbing or sticking out? I will run all 15x8s if needed. front tires are 225/60R15, rears will be 255/60R15. someone posted a chart for best backspacing/offset combos and both these wheels are on the money there but other posts say the 15x10s need to be 5.5" backspacing and the 15x8s need to be 4.5" backspacing so which is right? Please help me sort this out before I buy wheels that dont fit well

the 15x8s have a 3.75" backspacing and its the only backspacing available

I would stick with all 4 wheels the same for rotation purposes
Here is a good link that can compare various aspects of different wheels and tires. Plug in tire size and wheel specs and it will show you exactly what will change.

edited to add: Have you lowered your Blazer? I just looked through your album and it looks a little lower than most. 15x8 and 3.75bs will stick out 1.25" more than stock wheels would which could be more critical on a lowered vehicle than a stock height one. Perhaps someone with a lowered 2WD can add a little more input

It is a 2wd, it was lowered before but wasnt lowered correctly so its stock hieght again. If it gets lowered again it'll 2/2 or 2/3 so the 15x8s will stick out 1.25" more than stock? will they still fit under the fenders or will they stick outside the body?
Thank you mdehoogh and the rest of y'all for clearing this up. I will save up some more cash and order the wheels as soon as I can (needed tires bad on front and they aint cheap anymore)
