Yes, i have searched as a matter of fact. Ive been lurking for a couple of weeks, and have been searching. From what i can tell, this may be possible. i havent seen a thread that had any kind of resounding "yes" written all over it. alot of guys post and you cant even tell if they have a ZR2 or not, which when fitting large tires, would be alot different. the only thing i dont know is if it can be done to my 98 ZR2 without an additional body lift of 2".
So, if i have tweaked torsion bars, and a 2" rear shackles, and flarettes removed, will 32's clear? also, i think they will fit on the ZR2 premium wheels width wise, but some may say no.

took me about 2mins to find this>> https://blazerforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1811 like i said earlier all of questions are answered in here and in case you dont feel like reading it, your going to need about 5" of lift on a non zr2 blazer to fit 32's, with ur current setup of a tbar crank and shackles you can fit 31's no problem.

ok i didnt see that you had a zr2, ur stock tire size is 31" so youll be able to run a 32" tire no problem even without a tbar crank and shackles and as far as the premium wheels go they should also work with no prob.

Yes, i had read over that link you sent, but like i said, no definitive answers on clearence. thanks for the info though man, it is appreciated. see, i might have done the shackles and stuff when i didnt need to. so, i suppose now the question becomes, on a ZR2 model, after shackles and tb twist, can 33"s fit?

idk much about the zr2's, but im pretty sure 33's will rub a lil with a tbar crank and shackles, nothing a lil triming cant take care of. if you added 2" body lift on top of a tbar crank and shackles you should get by without any trimming.

Thats what i was kind of figuring. but im going on as much budget (as always) as possible. a two inch body lift may end up being more than i want to spend, right now anyway.

body lifts arent too expensive, but i dont think the extra cost of a body lift is worth it just to fit 33's. afterall the 33's will only be a 1/2" taller than the 32's
