33" tires
#11
It has a solid front axle and the guy I got it from used Jeep axles and Isuzu Trooper leaf springs. The shocks that are on there now are pretty much along for the ride, I just noticed they have pin holes in them from rubbing against the frame and all the fluid is gone. Time to replace those. Any suggestions?

Thank you all for helping me with my question!
I have one more question. Oh by the way I'm sorry I forgot to mention I have a 2004 chevy blazer 4dr. 4x4. Im wanting to get some new wheels. I found some Cragar soft 8's online and they are 15x8 wheels with 5x4.75 bolt circle pattern with 4in. backspace. I have been hearing 4in. backspace isnt enough to clear without rubbing. Would I need to buy wheel spacers? Would I need to trim the brake calipers?

4" backspacing shouldn't rub the frame, but it depends on the style of tire. I had 33s with both 4" BS and 4.75" BS wheels and a 5" lift and I had to trim the rear of the front fenders to clear the tires while turning.

Here's a link to a thread I did on trimming the fenders... https://blazerforum.com/forum/paint-...ing-job-30332/

wheel selection
im having a bit of a problem.. im looking for new wheels for my blazer but im having trouble. I found some wheels that have a 3" backspace with a -25.00mm offset. They are 15"x7" and 5x4.75 bolt pattern. Will that fit a 2004 chevy blazer? another wheel I was looking at is 15"x7" wheel with 3.750" backspacing with -6.00mm offset. would those fit? would I need wheel spacers? im new at this. thank you for your help.
