tire size and back spacing

ZQ8 Blazer · 08-15-2009, 07:59 AM

Been throwing around the idea of getting 20's and have some questions. My Blazer is dropped 4" up front and am currently running 235/55/16's which are 13.1" tall from the center of the hub up and barely rub the inner fender. The wheels I'm looking at has a back spacing of 5.7" and are 20x8.5's What kind of spacer will I need so they will have the right back spacing?(1.25"?) How safe are spacers that big? What size will I need out back to make the tires sit even with one another front to back?

What size tire will fit w/o rubbing too much with that wheel?

Thanks guys.
