Sorry if this is a dumb question….but do all blazers have rear wheels nowhere close to centered in the wheel arch like this? It looks like it’s forward like…..many inches.

There’s an offset to accommodate rear shift under a load. This one here seems accentuated though.

The lift blocks in the rear most likely have an offset hole and pin to account for the lift. Typically pushes the axle forward 1/2"-3/4".
