Hey everyone,

I just picked up an 04' with 26K miles and cloth interior...what is that? An RT, LT, LS...I don't know. Anyway, it was owned by an old, disabled woman who kept it in pristine condition...the interior looks NEW and the paint looks fresh! I had Cilajet applied from the dealership and had the front windows tinted to match the back. Here are a few shots:





Are these a special addition type wheel? I've never seen them:



My next mod will be a K&N intake. After that...nerf bars, tow hitch, bull bar with fog lights, powder coat roof rack and a few clean interior mods. I intend on keeping this a very clean daily driver and learning a lot from everyone here. Thanks for having me!

Question:

I want some beast looking all-terrain tires but don't want to lift it. Any suggestions on wheel size including offset with tire size? The inclusion of pics would be nice as well.

Question? What is Cilajet? And welcome to the forum, you'll learn a lot

Answer to you question (IMO) General Grabber has a nice selection of AT, moderately priced or Cooper tire, but you can also never go wrong with BFG (not my fav for AT though)

Welcome.

Here's a pic of my blazer with stock rims (6 in. backspacing) and basically brand new 30" BFG's (300 miles). Next spring I plan on going with rims with a 4.5 in. backspaing that make the rims stick out past the fenders a bit. It makes it look really mean and with the lower backspacing I might have to trim the fenders a little so I don't rub, but that doesnt bother me. If you go with anything bigger than 30's you'll probably have to lift. Hope this helps.
