Will these crawler rims work out?...
 

Alright so i want to put these Pro Comp 152 series black crawler rims on my 2003 chevy 4wd 4dr blazer. I want to put these on with hopefully 30" mud tires, i have no lift on it. here is the link to the rims i want..... http://www.4wheelparts.com/Wheels/Ro...pn=PCW152-5761

The full specs of the rims are on the page. Please give me some feedback on whether these will fit on my blazer or not, right now i have american racing outlaw II's on and i dont like them cause they are "flush" with the tire and not concaved in. Also i want to switch to black rims and put mud tires on. Im running stock tires right now... Thanks

they will bolt up, but you want be able to run a 30" tire on that rim without trimming not to mention that the 3.75" backspacing will put unwanted stress on your front end. i would suggest sticking to a wheel with no less than 4.5" of backspace but even with a 15x7 with 4.5"BS youll have to trim to fit 30's. if you do not want to trim find a rim with stock specs(15x7 6"BS) your only other option to avoid trimming would be a lift.

i have the same wheels on mine. you will need 4.5 back spacing. With 30's they might rub a little in the front. Also just to let you know. You dont get the center caps that is shows. You get chrome ones. they dont even make the black ones

Where did you find yours at with 4.5 backspacing? And about the center caps i know, i was planning on sanding them and painting black to match...

Well is there some kind of adapter to increase the backspacing? because they really dont make good looking rims for blazers with bigger backspacing than around 3.75"... Also, say i still ran this setup with 30's, how much triming (rough estimate) would i have to do?

there is no such adapter out there to change BS from 3.75" to 4.5". there is another member on this site(wolfpack) with 3.5-4" of lift running 265/70/15's(roughly 30") on a rim with 4.5"BS and he had to do some light trimming, so if you run a 30"tire with a 3.75"BS rim with no lift youll be doing moderate to heavy trimming of you fender and front valance.

i got em from the same place. i just looked and i guess they dont have them. Mine are 8in wide instead of 7

Just my luck...

Damn this sucks....Well in the end im probably still going to go with these rims cause they dont make good looking rims with large backspacing for blazers unfortunatly, so what do u think is the largest mud tire i can run with 0 trimming and these crawler rims? oh and thanks for all the feedback so far, appreciate it greatly

you should be fine with the stock tire size.

Oh okay...well thanks for all the adive man, can i get your email cause it seems like your a blazer guru haha

its best to post questions/problems on the forum so a number of people can use the information and thanks for the compliment, but beleive me there are plenty of other members around who know much much more than i do.

if you do go with that back spacing you will go through hubs more often due to the added pressure

Ya true good point okay last question lol sorry to bombard you, well i was searching just now and found these rims with 5in backspacing. Are these a better choice than the others? And what would be the max size tire i could fit with these, im trying to fit the largest tire possible. thanks

i would go with the 5"BS for the reasons NVANZEE stated, but without rubbing the stock tire size will be the biggest.

What do you mean "go through hubs"?

the farthe the wheel sticks out the more stress there is on the wheel hubs. In result making them heat up more than normal. So they go bad quicker than with a stock set up

If anyone has seen them let me know please :)
