Looks like you've done a little trimming in the front! Have any rubbing?

Factory height? Or lifting it? Factory height, it might bolt in, but it's gonna rub over bumps. And with stock backspacing rims, will rub on sway bar at full lock.

If you're lifting it, how much?

Im looking to get some bigger tires myself. To me the tires on the stock wheels look much smaller then the ones on the torq thrusts. Do you know what the size was on those? On the new ones do they rub at full turn?

Say what you will but those front fenders in flag frame photo look like they are trimmed, not just chrome removed. Might be unintentional when what looks like rust/bondo job on that edge. I look at pic and at mine over my shoulder. That edge by door to wheel well opening is narrower than mine for sure and the prior photo with chrome trim ring still on. Be very hard pressed to put 30’s on stock without a bit of adjustment unless its a zr2.

Trukntiger. That last pic is definitely trimmed. The bottom is angled back towards the door. I dont believe the pic with stock wheels is 31’s either. Thats why Im asking the size.

I use and iPad 6th gen. Got in close, those old wildcats do say 31x10.5r15 and do not show any wear on tire from hitting. I give owner that. What’s missing is the type of torsion bars that Blazer has. We know they had what? 5 or 6 different sizes, if it was the heaviest one would ride stiff but prevent the body from making contact as easy. Mentions lifting a bit just in front with new tires/rims along with that shaving/bondo we see. Hmm, wonder if the corner edge “repair” was from a bit of tire rub? Beats me, am curious but still wont go over 30/9.5r15 on stock with minor tweak on torsion bars without doing a proper lift.
