Looking at using these wheels on my envoy. Mark's 3" lift with 1.5" wheels spacers and 265/70/17 tires.
Just wondering if the wheels are any good and if 4" of backs pacing plus the spacer will make them stick out too far

Thanks

you would need adapters not spacers to fit that bolt pattern.As far as backspacing they will stick out a bit

I guess I should have worded that better, they are the 1.5" adapters to go to the 6x5.5 bolt pattern.

Will they stick out too much where I'll need fender flares ?

They will likely stick out close to 4" more than stock. You gain 2" from the dffent backspacing(6-4), 1.5 from the adapters and ~.5 from the wider tire.

Look at the offset. Our stock rims are +35 offset, with the spacers it pushes it out another 1.5", I wouldn't get an offset any less than +25 or you will be sticking out too far. +25 offset plus the adapters would push the tire out another 1.8" or so.

The -12 offset would be good only if you ditch the adapters.

Look through these. I filtered the selection to your bolt pattern and offset. If the filters aren't there, just choose 6x5 1/2 and +25 offset. Hope this helps.

Depends on what you want. I would rather have my tires out a bit more and I have a setup really similar to that. Rather rub a tire on a rock ot tree than the body.

they've always worked for me.

I think he may have laws on how much the wheels can stick out in his area. Believe me, if I didn't have laws on it in Maine I would have gone with 285/65/17 tires... Might have prevented my door damage too lol...

Sliders would have prevented that much better than any tire/wheel package
