had to changed all of the above since the calipers were seized on to the rotors and the pistons were totally stuck... Also, rotors are shot to hell, so i figured do it right the 1st time..

Now for the rims that i got from CL American Racing ar767 iirc.. sweet deal on these... i got 5 for less than $120 :)

Mounted them on Cooper Discoverer ATR's 30/9.5/15
I thought the fit will be perfect.. but once Mounted (discount tire) they couldn't turn the car at all.. rubbed major on the back fenders.. so I had them switch to the stockers till I got home.. and did some minor trimming.

Tbar crank was 1" and I need more trimming of the fenders.. Currently still rubbing full lock or when going in reverse...

Why can't I ever find deals like this? :icon_doh:

Looks good man, what year is it? Were the tires rubbing on the rear of the front fenders, or were the rear fenders rubbing. I'm thinking you mean the former. I'd like to see some pics of your trimming, if possible.

1998... Tires were rubbing on front rear fenders... sorry i was not clear. I will post pictures tonight if I get around it... Im installing a bull bar aswell.. Thanks

EDIT: Also, forgot to mention I took the trimming around the wheels looks better imo..

The best things in life are free. Spend what you need to make it your own and have fun with it. Congrats

Looking good. Which I could get a cheap car like that lol.

thanks for all the comments... Im really trying to fix issues and also do some modifying at the same time. but the issues are catching up fast.. can't really complain 1998 truck with 72k miles.. here are the promised pic's..

Trimming the fenders a bit.. I still rub (full lock) on the inner fenders...
don't have any clue how to fix that.. and don't really want to crank the t-bar any more...

New axle is going to be put in soon.. I can do the boot only but after reading some threads/post regarding this issue.. I commited myself on doing it right the 1st time :).. pictures of the install will follow..

nice man i just picked up a 95 i like the wheels i might have to get some of those in the near future

I was really surprised with the wheels+tires looked installed.. it gave the truck new attitude.. imo it looks very aggresive how it sits currently....

yeah it does. thats why i really like those wheel's

Looks good.. not bad for a free blazer...+your addons.
