well probably not muddies....but that would be sick......if i was to do that i would need an insane lift wouldnt i?....na i just want beefy tread and tires with some of that classic beefy overhang over the rim to get that offroad effect with the 17s since i dont wanna drop it....and i do want a nice cowl hood next

oh yea. I see where you're goin. it'd be pretty sweet. I personally like that wheel/tire combo of ceanern's.

you know, that blazer of yours (flowmasta) already looks great. maybe get rid of that spare. but, you're already tryin to do that.

Check out Cooper Tires website. Go to the Truck tires, look for the STT.
They have 33x12.5x17" tires.

I am not after a mudder with shiny wheels. The wheels would distract from the rust holes.

i figure those rims and those tires times 5 would be one hot addition to my blazer....since i dont wanna get bigger rims and risk 1 bending them and 2 loose the beefyness of the blazer i love so much....so my solution beefy tires w000t...i think it would be sick

that's funny...I was thinkin you was tryin to pass me or somethin. you probably will by tomorrow though.
and you might as well go with a 6 inch lift to really get 'er off the ground.

I was looking at the trimming. I check on prices on the flares and I couldn't believe the price on them. I'm thinking with mine (will get pics today) I might be able to just whack off the lower part of my fenders and have a bit more clearance. Cause there isn't much room for me to cut it back in a angle like you did hanr. Almost where the well ends is the backing. But will get pics up. I'm hoping to get to a parts store today and pick up a body lift if I can get ahold of a friend whois dad works there. Was told he gets like a 25% discount. and they price match from online stores. all I ahve to do is bring a print out in. They carry the performance accessory body lift for 299. Which summit has it for 208. After taxes it is like 220. and if that discount can happen and is real I'm only gonna be spending 165ish I think. :)

Here is a few more pics. Here is where I"m having the issue. Wish I could cut it back like hanr had suggested.

there is a pic of how the fenders are sitting on my blazer and why I think I would have a hard time doing the fender trimming
