Default Wheel Well clearance

Hey Guys its been a while. any ways strait to my question.
i have a 1991 Blazer s-10 4 door. i just recently got 31's for it and
put them on. they fit fine....one slight problem i get huge rubbing
on my inner fender closest to the cab. these should fit no problem...
my possible issue is my springs are sagging. short of replacing them what other options do i have to
gain a bit more clearance?

Trim the fender! That's what I had to do for my tires since my rims pushed the tire much farther out.

And what kind of lift do you have again?

No lift at all. i shouldnt need one considering the 31's came off a similar blazer. i just think my springs are sagging big time.

30's are the largest that fit on a stock blazer with some help (torsion bar crank). 31s may fit onto a ZR2, but not a stock blazer.

Unless he's got really really worn 31s...then he could technically be 'clearing 31s'

2' or 3' would do you fine. Im not sure if a 2' is available for 1st gens...I think it's only the 3' from PA. You can always trim your fender back
