I found these on eBay. 15x8 Black Wheel Alloy Ion Style 171 5x4.75 Blazer Rims | eBay
I think they're pretty cool looking. The only thing that concerns me is the backspacing. Will 3.44 backspacing work on my 2WD?


I also found some other wheels on Summit Racing that they offered with 3" backspacing. I trying to bring the tires out past the fenders without doing a lift. Is that even possible?

I like em, look like soft 8's but aluminum. I wanted to get a set but they don't have the right bolt pattern in 17's.

JDrummond,
Thanks for the link, but I still cant figure out if I can put those other wheels on. I measured and I still have about 2 3/4" from the edge of the tire to the edge of the fender well using my stock wheel. 15x7 4" backspacing. I'm thinking that 15x8 with 3.44" or 3" backspacing will work but I wont know for sure until I try to put them on. No one has asked this particular question before that I can tell. If others can get away with wheel adapters I'm sure I can just change rim sizes instead.

Jason,
They do look like soft 8s. That's the biggest reason I like them so much. I didn't want to go all black or polished, so these are perfect. It's too bad they didn't have the right bolt pattern for you. Maybe if you contact them they'll special order some.
