Blazer looks good! Have any problems rubbing yet? Take a tape measure to ur tires and see if they r truly 31's i know my 31's are really just over 30 inches

Looks good! I did a fender trim job myself once... here is a link to it if interested.

No rubbing yet. The total diameter is around 30.5 I think. I haven't measured them but I remember seeing a chart of all the specs/sizes of the tires.

Yep, I ran across that thread and saw your pics in the top. Did you cover up the hole with anything or just leave it open? I have that same lip trim that you have but it doesn't cover much.

Thanks, yeah these are 2WD wheels. They came stock on a lot of S10s and Sonomas and I think they're the same as the spare wheel on 2WD Blazers so there's lots of them out there. I really prefer the look of the D-hole cragar/procomp wheels but these were too cheap to pass up.


Also, more good news. I was planning on sending my PCM back to Wait4Me to get it recalibrated for the 31's so that my speedometer wouldn't be wrong. When I checked it with my GPS though, it seems to be spot on. Would the increased circumference interfere with any other systems or only the speedo/odometer? I'm trying to determine whether I should send in the PCM or not. The retune is free and shipping wouldn't be much but if the speedo is correct and everything else functions fine, I don't want to send it in if I don't have to....


yes I know SES is on, P0300 and P0175

I cut my fenders pretty much the exact same in the rear and front. If i ever have to do anymore cutting im not useing a sawzall anymore. Im useing an angle grinder, so much more easier to control and a lot more precise without the banging against the paint. But looks good and pretty much just like mine. Im getting my 31's hopefully in a few weeks. Can you do me a favor and put the stock size tire next to the 31? Or in front just so i can get a better perspective? Thank you and looks great

I like the way the black wheels/tires look.

I posted this pic a few pages back but I can take more or at a different angle if you want. The smaller one is 235/70r15. Not sure why my truck came with 70 instead or 75 series...

Thats a good one too, But if you get a the chance if you could just pretty much put the stock tire in front of it like looking at a side angle of your truck and put the stock on in front of it and next to it to see the height difference. If not its no biggie, I thank you though. Like i said it looks great!

Heres my truck, You can see how i cut my front valace and rear fender like you did and heres a pic of what im taking about and then with the tire in front of the front tire

I found another comparison pic I had taken when I first got them (below), but I'll take another pic with one in front like that tomorrow.

You're right about how similar ours are. I ended up rounding the corner of the bumper a little though (might do it to the fender too). What size tires are on yours?
