Default Tucking 33's?

Do you think it would be possible to tuck some 33x12.50R15 on 15x8'swith a 2" body lift, 2" shackles and 1.5" tbar crankwithout basically murdering my inner fenders and massive ammounts of trimming? Its a 95 Blazer 4door 4wd. Anyone run this setup? pictures if anyone runs it?

Rcars2 has the same setup... i think he had to do quite a bit of trimming...

Rcars2 did a little trimming but he also has that body lift on his as well, and that helps a bunch!! Yes you can stuff them under with the setup you are talking about like Rcars2 did with minimal trimming!!!

thats what i'd like to do but my backspacing is 3.75" and it rubs with my 2inch suspension lift and 31x10.50s... could i stuff 33s with a body lift on those rims that i have?

howdy fellas, new guy here, this is the samesetup Ive decided to go with, it seems to be the best way to get 33's under the ol blazer without breaking the bank. So if i crank up the t-bars, install 2" shackles, and slap on a 2" body lift what would be the best backspacing to run to minimizerubbing/trimming? also does anyone know what the totaladditional amount of ground clearance is when using thissetup and has anyone had any major problems with this setup?? thanks alot fellas all info. is greatly appreciated

Stock back spacing is 6" so you are going to want to stay as close as possible to that number. But since it's harder to find wheels for our 4wd's really I wouldn't go lower than 4.5" backspace. But regardless you are going to have to do some trimming anyway. On my truck I'm running a 4.5" backspace with 32'sbut I'm lifted 6" and still have to trim a little. That's my .02...
