What rims?
 
I have a 96' blazer with 31x10.5 tires and stock rims,i just bought it like this but the tires rub bad and i was wondering like what rims i could get that would stop this and let me keep the tires i have on it.The tires rub like the frame also to let u know not the fenders.
Thanks if u can help

If your only rubbing the frame, dont turn so far.

get a set of 2wd rims and you should be in good shape, but hanr3 has a good idea too and its cheaper

I got a set of 33" on 6" backspaced wheels. I rub the frame and torsion bar at full crank. Makes one hell of a racket, thud thud thud thud as each lug makes contact. You learn not to turn so sharp real quick.

You could get either 2" rims or wheels rims with less backspacing than stock 4x4 (about 6") so get some 4" backspacing rims and the wheels will stick out 2" further. Otherwise you could get some wheel spacers. You could also do a t-bar crank of 1-1.5" and 1-2" rear shackles. Or you could go with smaller tires. Most likely your speedometer may be off because of the larger tires so you may want to check that with either a radar sign thing on the side of the road, or if you or a friend has a GPS you could try that. Then go to a shop and have them reprogram the speedometer or get a hypertech tuner.

spacing the wheels out will make them rub the fenders with 31's..... if you space them in any way, you need a bit of lift..
