Worth, TX Status: offline i think the problem might be the 15x10 wheel and 30x11.5 tire. most 30" tires are 30x9.5...  also i was under the impression that its possible to fit 31's with just a body lift...   29's would have fit w/o any lift. _____________________________ Matt - 98 4DR 4WD click me!

The other problem might lie in your running boards if you were going with the 31-32" tires. _____________________________ -Lenny 4.3L Auto. 3.73Gears http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2358267 (in reply to Verno) Post #: 5

Worth, TX Status: offline the wheel looks to be about 4" wider than the truck so they are probably fairly close to oem backspacing. i could be wrong _____________________________ Matt - 98 4DR 4WD click me!

Weird you are having clearance issues, then again having a 15x10 wheel doesnt help either..lol... Why not just switch them to a 15 x 8 wheel? _____________________________ Dave- 01 blazer 4x4, 6" Superlift Kit,15x8 on 32''s and 20"x9" on 33''s,New Jersey Chapter www.subsonickustomz.com NJ,MI,IN,WI,IL,CO,MN,AZ,NC, (in reply to cyukio) Post #: 12
