32''s or 33''s - 6/26/2008 7:16:56 PM    MHPrior80 Posts: 70 Joined: 1/9/2008 Status: offline ok my zr2 is getting the 2.35 in lift shackels in the rear installed early next week followed with a 1 in or 1.25 in t-bar crank in the front...i really want to get 33''s on the truck, will they work or would 32''s be better, im only asking as i dont think i will have my body lift on in time when i need new tires, im at 96,000 on the originals and discount tire said i still have plenty of good tread, but i wanna replace them though asap.  my rim size is 15x8.5 with a BS of 5 in.  i know ill need to to trim the fenders and what not, i just need to know if i could stuff 33''s under there till i get the body lift on?  i dont plan on taking it off road anytime soon till i get the 2 in body lift on as well.  thanx in advance _____________________________ 2001 Chevy Blazer 4x4 ZR2 2 Door Black Post #: 1

Worth, TX Status: offline Any idea on when you''ll get the body lift in? If you wanna get the new tires real soon and will get the body lift in within a month or two, I don''t think it would hurt to crank the t-bars as high as you can just to fit the tires. Then, once the body lift gets in, ease off the t-bars a little bit. Jigg has a ZR2 with 33''s. All he has (for the front at least) is a 2" body lift and 1"-1.5" t-bar crank. At least, I think that''s all he has...  Maybe someone with a Z will chime on how much they will/might rub without the body lift _____________________________ Matt - 98 4DR 4WD _____________________________ click me!

Worth, TX Status: offline In that case, I would go ahead and get 32''s. 33''s will only give you a half inch of ground clearance and hit the fenders more often. Smaller tires will allow for more suspension travel _____________________________ Matt - 98 4DR 4WD _____________________________ click me! (in reply to MHPrior80) Post #: 4

I would also recommend sticking with the 32s.  It won''t do you any good to have 33''s if you can''t go offroading anywhere because you''re constantly hitting fenders and wheel well. _____________________________ 2000 Blazer 4d LS 4x4 - 265/70/15 General Grabber AT2s - Hunter Brush Guard - Surco Roof Rack with IPF 868s - 1.5'' Shackle + Tbar - 2'' BL (in reply to otnietdehoooo) Post #: 5
