wheel spacers
 
Bought some 4x4 rims from a s10. Thought they would fit but they did not fit... They are pressed against the tie rod and the leaf springs. Anyone ever used eccpp spacers? Looking to space these wheels out for hopefully an aggressive look that'll fit the hub.

Is it blazer 2wd? If so that's the case, 2wd rims have a further backspacing then the 4wd rims. As for the spacer, I have not used that brand, but have heard many people have problems with NONE hubcentric spacers.

THAT BEING SAID:

I run 1.5 NONE hubcentric spacers on the rear only to "even" out the wheels. I have had them on for 2 or 3 years now, and I have not had a problem...

I have read too that the 2wd rims are set further out so that if you have a 2wd and your new rims are off a 4wd, you would have the problem you describe.

The conventional wisdom is that you should only use hub-centric wheel spacers. I have 1.25" on my rear wheels to make the rear track width the same as the front. But for a road car, I've also see that a slightly wider track width in the front is a good thing.

I have ECCPP spacers on the rear of both of my ATV's, no issues so far. But that's also only a couple hundred pounds of vehicle that doesn't see highway speeds, so yeah...

But the quality seems okay

Guess theres only one way to find out. Ordered 4 1.5" hub centric spacers. They seem to have decent reviews. Only bad reviews are non-sense things.

I finally found some references online that the 2wd wheels have zero offet but the 4wd ones have an offset of 2".

If you like i can post the links.

I did find one reference that listed the 2wd offset as 1/2" but i'm not as confident in that source.
