Rims/Tire Question... - 5/29/2008 8:17:07 AM    MHPrior80 Posts: 70 Joined: 1/9/2008 Status: offline Ok everyone i have decided to go with this setup...first: The truck when im done will have: a 2 in. body lift 2.25in lift shackels 2 in. ruff country shocks add a leaf ( 1 on each side ) and a 1 in torsion key lift now the wheels i have are 15x7 with a back spacing of 4 im gonna buy wheel adapter/spacers  ( 1.25 in in front/2 in. in rear )  i need the adapters because the bolt pattern is 5x4.5 on the new rim.  with the adapter/spacers...will this be a big problem or will just the minor trimming need to be done to make everything work.  the tires i want are the bfg mud terrain...i know i want 33s but which would be better 33x1150x15 or 33x1250x15?  what does everyone reccomend for this to work out properly?  thanx in advance ps..im not really taking it off roading, my truck just goes down alot of dirt roads, and deer camp. _____________________________ 2001 Chevy Blazer 4x4 ZR2 2 Door Black Post #: 1

In the front, you are moving things a total of 3.25" out which would be problematic with much smaller tires...  Using 33's, I'm afraid you will have to really bash in your firewall to get it out of the way.  The reduction in the backspacing is making things MUCH worse. _____________________________ Kyle- 2004 Rainier 1970 Chevelle - Resto 1974 K5 Blazer - Resto (in reply to MHPrior80) Post #: 2

On a side note, please try not to post consecutively unless you have waited atleast 24 hours...  If you have anything further to add to your post within a 24hr window, please use the edit function to include it. < Message edited by swartlkk -- 6/1/2008 6:11:09 PM > _____________________________ Kyle- 2004 Rainier 1970 Chevelle - Resto 1974 K5 Blazer - Resto (in reply to MHPrior80) Post #: 6
