Re: Ratchet's Blazer - 1970 2wd with Original paint
The wheels are only available in one backspacing per size, but the fronts are 17x8 with 0mm offset (4.5" BS) and the rears are 17x9 with -12mm offset (4.53" BS). The tires are 255/50-17 and 275/50-17 respectively. My axle is a wide 1970 rear. I do wish I had a little more backspacing in the front as the wheels are fairly close to flush with the fender. I will remedy that with some narrow PB arms if and when I decide to bag it.
For the drums, I ended up ordering a set of Moser replacement axles, but with the 5x4.75 bolt pattern and drilled a new set of 71-72 drums myself to fit.
