I think it depends on the tread style also. I think with some AT`s you`ll be fine...

EDIT: I just forgot that i put them on before the bodylift...

I have the 1.5" tbar crank with 2" rear shackles on an '01 and I'm running 31s (30.5") without rubbing unless there's some flex so you'll definitely have some to do some trimming but I wouldn't expect too much

I ended up taking my front bumper off for the time being so there's plenty of room for my tires now haha

you'd probably have less problems with 15x8's

yea I would suggest 15x8s as well...

Maybe you can correct me on this Benedict but I think you might rub the control arms with a wider wheel?

That depends on the offset, how far the tire/rim sticks out. That being said, the further you go out the more likely you are to have rubbing issues with the bumper & fender.

RGDPUDDIN, there are plenty of possibilities, i had a 1988 s10 blazer and crank the torsion bars an put rear shackles, then put 31īs on it, an it rub a lot, then i put a PA 3 inch body lift and the problem is over, now i have a 1998 s10 blazer and crank the t-bars and add lift shackles at the back and 31īs run ok, iīm thinking of buying a 2" body lift and put 32īs on it, i hope they donīt rub. can you put pics to see your truck with 32īs? hope they donīt rub in your blazer, if they donīt iīll copy your idea

31's will fit stock in the rear since rear tires don't turn. you may still have to do some trimming with the 32's and the body lift. and 15x10's won't rub the control arms but just about everything else... I wouldn't get 15x10's unless you are going 33's or bigger, but by that point your only option is pretty much a solid axle swap. Jimmy looks good thou those american racing wheels?
