I ordered some tires from SUmmit Racing, and dummy me orderd 31's not 30's.

Will those fit on a stadard stock hight 97 Blazer? NOt sure if later modles have a larger wheelwell. but assuming they are all the same. I love the look of the ties I got. but it looks like they don;t come in 30's

Anywho, thanks for your help i my dire need. and silly not paying attention!

Negative. You need at least 2'' up to fit 31s. Or you can cut quite a bit off your fenders and have it work for turns...but you still won't be able to hit any bumps or dips without risking the wheel slamming the bottom of your front fenders.

What kind of tires did you get?

Bummmer. well looking at the 2in body lifts now. the ones I got are Medalist Mud Kings. Nice looking tires. I wanted the Kuhmo Mud Terrains I bought 2 yrears ago. but they discontinued the ones I have, and not spending 150 on them from a dealer. these were 119. and they look about the same. for me the lift price will be worth it. since I wanted to get a lift anyway. lol

you can crank your torsion bars up about an inch, maybe 1.5".. and your 31's should only rub the frame at full crank on stock rims. Just don't wheel hard...
