Offroad Trailblazers and Envoys

How far do your tires stick out, photos?

Need new shoes? This is the place to discuss.

I've been trolling through build threads, offset threads trying to get an idea on what to order in wheels. I've been waiting for almost 2 months now for a set I ordered back in February, which have been pushed out until the end of June now. I can't wait any longer is the bottom line but I cannot find another set that look similar with the +25mm offset and 17x7. The wheels I like are around 0 offset and 4.5" back spacing. I know it will stick out x amount, but I'm a visual person and need to see how it looks.

Do any of you guys have side body line shots and the nitty gritty specs on the wheels your running? ( back spacing, offset, sizing, spacer sizing) A thread like this if everyone contributes may be a good sticky to clear up future back spacing/offset

Sample shot: (sorry its my old tuner car in an early phase)

Good photos, now just need some guys with the lower offsets to chime in. By the look of Donny's I'm glad I went with the 17x8 25 mm offset. I should be able to skate under Johnny law's radar only being out that far. The jeep guys up here are by far worse.

A 0 offset wheel is going to be very close to what I look like right now if you don't run a spacer... or are you looking at 6x5.5" wheels?

Also keep in mind my tire section width is 12.5".

the rims you ordered (with 1.5 spacers) should stick out roughly 3.5 inches more than what you run stock.
