Default Broke laws of tire size being relative to the lift you have.

Today I decided to try to put a 32" tire on my 95 Blazer. I have no lift, nothing added. It's all stock. I currently have 235/75R15. I put a 32x11.50x15 on it and by God, it fit!

I only rub on the sway-bar at full lock and the edge of the body.



So I drove around some, and they work like a charm. I do have the slight rub when I turn, but that's it. I DO REALIZE I CAN'T OFFROAD. But I'm getting a 2" body lift and the shackle lift to give me room for play.

I bout flipped out when I saw it. I had to get a friend to look to make sure I wasn't going crazy. I doubt I'll get any bigger. I would love 35's, but that's a little much.
