no i understand and no offense,thats why i said 20s would feel it out better,btw the overall size of the tires sit about 1in taller then the factory tires that come with the blazer so gap is near same as before just stands out more now cuz of the rims, but to be honest ive been thinking of trying to come up on the blazer xtreme wheels and possilbly painting them black... just an idea,if i can find a good deal ima sell these rims. how does that sound? black on black knightrider stealth status

It's not the wheels that kill it. That style needs less wheel well gap. I know they're taller, but stock it's got SUV style tires and gap, now it has large wheels, small tires and big gap. That style wheel/tire combo (either one, really) would look really good...if you were lowered.

yea true dat,would look better if lowered,bigger rims,or more sidewall. got 3 complements from strangers in the last few days so cant be all that goofy right but like i said i dont think ima have them much longer and i dont think ima lower it, i rather have it look sporty with the xtreme wheels then with all the chrome which is coo but not my cup of tea

ok its been awhile cuz ive been lagging,but just about finished
my intake system,i sanded off the chrome finish off the intake pipes
and primered and added 2k degree black heat paint,added a clear
coat to it for a nice shine,painted the heat sheild a flat aluminum color.
glue needs to dry for stripping and all thats left is for me to pick up
a new K&N air filter RU-3130 on thursday and mount the sucker,cant wait!



couple of mock ups





painting session



i think it looks great in black!



before paint,just fitting the stripping



just about done



Oh yea btw i cleaned my engine bay today,it really needed it cuz im
guessing the last owner had a rusty radiator hose bust or something
cuz there was all the brownish/redish crap all over the engine,looked
discusting,used gunk engine degreaser and a couple of brushes i got
at autozone for scrubing,cleaned for about an hr & got about 85-90%
of it off,some areas i couldnt reached but looks alot better!!!

before



after
