larger spare? will it fit bellow? - 6/3/2008 3:42:28 PM    Sterling Posts: 128 Joined: 3/4/2008 From: Tennessee Status: offline So ive found a local guy selling 4 31x10.5 R15 BFG A/Ts for $275 with some crappy rims, i figured hey they have 80-90% tread left and all i have to do is swap the tires over to my stock rims. Now heres my question... I'll be buying another tire of the same size for like $50 on craigs list to use as my spare, will it fit on the tire carrier under my blazer? _____________________________ 1995 4dr 4x4 LS Blazer Chrome Grille Guard, Custom Painted Dark Cherry Interior, Roof Cab Lights, Grille Inserts, 2.5" Magnaflow Hi-Flow Cat, 2.5" Piping All The Way Down, 2.5" Thrush Glasspack Muffler, Chrome Nerf Bars, 2 In.

I fit a 30" up in there, and you have to fanangle it as you go to get it up in there. _____________________________ "Some people spend an entire lifetime wondering if they made a difference.

RE: larger spare? will it fit bellow? - 6/3/2008 7:54:29 PM    AJBert Posts: 243 Joined: 10/27/2007 Status: offline Ummmm...ZR2's have the spare mounted on the tire rack on tailgate, not inside or underneath.  You know, the one that is mounted to the passenger quarter panel and latches to the tailgate? That is always an option to mount a swing away tire carrier on the back.  Or throw it on top. _____________________________ 2000 BlaZeR2 1998 Camaro SS 1990 C1500 2006 Monte Carlo LS (in reply to WolfPack) Post #: 7
