I have a 2000 Blazer, with i think eagle alloy rims, and p235/75/15 tires on them. So kinda a long story of how i got those tires. It was my mistake and i read my tires size wrong and yeah so i have those tires now. The Problem is that they rub in the front when i turn or if i hit to hard in the front. So what would be your suggestions? I have heard people say that these tires shouldn't be rubbing. I mean i had p235/70/15 and went a little skinner tire to a p235/75/15 and they rub kinda surprising. what would you suggest? torsion bars? Lift Kit? New tires? Thanks for the help.

what are the specs of your rims?? to stop the rubbing you can either trim, buy new tires, go back to your stock rims or crank your tbars a bit.

Do you have factory rims?
Crank the torsion bar adjuster bolts about 4 or 5 turns each for about a 1" lift in the front.

Umm if i crank up the torsion bars would it mess up my ride some? Like how smooth the ride would be? Would i have to get it realigned? How would i find out the specifics of the Rims?
Thanks for the help i love these forms.

cranking your tbars an inch wont really affect much as far as ride quality is concerned, but you will need an alignment afterwards.

Cranking your Tbars will affect your ride quality, 1" wont be AS bad but anything more and your front suspension will be more of a springboard then suspension. Ask me how I know, but in your case you pretty much are stuck with going back to your stock rims(or tires), cutting fender(last resort), small Tbar lift, or a body lift.
