youll have to do ALOT of trimming

AJBert 08-10-2009 08:08 PM

You could actually fit them with very little lift...

providing you open your wheel wells and gut them considerably.

bigred77 08-11-2009 02:28 PM

could you be more descriptive in the words of gutting my wheel wells?

mikeinwi 08-11-2009 02:36 PM

take your choice of cutting tool and BFH then go to town on your fenders. you could also remove your inner fender liner, but i wouldnt suggest that because who knows what youll kick up into your engine bay. i would also suggest going with a 32 youll still have to trim but it wont be as bad as the 33's.

bigred77 08-11-2009 02:49 PM

even using some wheel spacers wouldnt help? i had plans of getting some spacers to widen the stance.

mikeinwi 08-11-2009 02:52 PM

spacers would make the fender rubbing issue worse, itll help to stop from rubbing the frame or sway bar but youll have to trim even more of your fenders.

bigred77 08-11-2009 03:58 PM

so if i go with 32x10.5 that wont require as much chopping??????

NVANZEE 08-11-2009 04:34 PM

anything is possible. But like they said 33s would require a lot of trimming. I have roughly 9in of lift and my 33s still rub a little on the trails. But they are 12.5in wide and i have offset wheels. If you stay with stock wheels 32s will fit with a little trimming.

My ZR2 is lifted 2" with 33x12.5 and 33x14 and no issues... Front bumper needed to be trimmed...

NVANZEE 08-12-2009 06:59 AM

thats because yours is a ZR2. His is not

So over a normal Blazer that's 4" since the ZR2 had 2" from the factory. You didn't have to trim your fenders? (Not that I'm an expert on the subject of lifting but I would have expected you to have to since everyone else generally does).

Actually, ZR2's sit about 3" higher than non-Z's, stock to stock.

I have a 4 door..
Read: NON-ZR2

with 2" Body and 1.5" Suspension I Fit a set of 30x10.5s with a little rub...

then I went from 6" Backspace (Stock) to 3-15/16" backspace

FENDER TRIM City.....

I cut a SOLID 2" from behind the wheel.
I had a body shop do it, so it looks really nice :)

What would be the best street/occasional mud tire??
I will have to commute about 60 miles every weekend and then get to play a little bit....

Also its a stock 98 4dr
I thought this was kinda on topic....

But I am curious to see how they fit and if they rub...

Crazy idea... Smaller rims... and still big tires?

007jimmy 08-14-2009 12:16 AM

i have a rough country lift on my 00 jimmy and im running a 32.5x10.5 tire with minimum rubbing when i have the tbars cranked all the way on the trails... i am running ion alloy 15x9 inch rim with 4 inches of backspacing... i had to take off my fender cladding and hammer in the fender a little bit along with cutting off a peice of my inner fender to run them with my tbars not cranked all the way... but i also have zr2 rbars... i a little over 3 inches of lift in the frint with them way cranked but usually run them on the street turned down to 1.5 inches... the tires im using are dakota m/ts that are great for general street use with weekend trail visits... i have yet to get stuck and i have went through water wholes that came up my dooor handles.. and they where relitivly cheap tires... 120 a peice from pepboys.. buy 3 get one free... i cant complain about the setup im running at all..
