Default Is this the correct wheel size ?

Just wondering if this tire and wheel package I found will work on my 89' S10 Blazer?

33X12.50R15 IROK IND on 15X8 BLACK D WINDOW WHEELS @ NTW


I am planning on getting 2" rear lift shackles , 2" t bar crank, 3" body lift, and running 4.11 Yukon gears with all that said and done I think 33's should be no problem may require a wee bit of trimming but other than that I should be good to go just need to know if these will work on my truck.

What are the specs on the wheels? I'd say as long as you never go offroad nor flex the suspension they should work. Even with the lift you are planning you'll have a tough time fitting 33's for anything other than the street.

Is that what you use your truck for then? just street and no off road? just wondering since you have 33's and just about the same setup I am going to run except I am doing a 3" body lift instead.

There isn't really any info in the link regarding the specs of the wheels.

Higher offset wheels won't cause as much rubbing on the fenders but there is a potential for rubbing inside the wheelwell against the frame and possibly on the front swaybar.

Lower offset wheels will stick out more to prevent rubbing inside the wheelwell but they will potentially cause rubbing issues near the edges of the fenders.

AJBert has a ZR2 which is lifted with 31's straight from Chevy. They can fit 33's much easier than non-Z trucks. Also, the tires listed in his signature are 33x10.5 which should fit easier than 33x12.5 but there aren't many brands available in that size.

Thanks for putting that out there for me.
