Will 33s fit

[nitrolegend]

I am putting a 3 in body lift and 2 in suspension lift on my 91 s-10 blazer.The question i have is will 33s fit with cut out flares. Thanks

I'd say definitely with the cut-out flares if you are using factory rims. Aftermarket rims with different backspacing can change where the tire sits in turning in the wheel well and can cause rubbing on the inner fenders.

Thanks for the reply.What size rims do you think i will need?What backspacing will work? Most aftermarket rims i looked at have 3.75 back spacing. Thanks Jim

sounds like they would fit up under there, i had a 94 full size blazer that sit on 33's Stock....but wit the lift u got, it should work.
back spacing depends on if u want em to stick out or not i thank factory is close to 4.00 or 4.50....sumin close to that.

I can measure the backspacing I have on the aftermarket rims on my 91 Blazer... I think they are 3.75, but I'm not sure.

Can you put up a picture of the 91 so I can see how much they stick out? I want rims for my Blazer and I'm just lost on what to get. I don't want them to hang out to much.

u should be fine, i know a guy who has 33's on a factory ZR2 with a "lil rubbing"

you should be fine...

This truck has 33" and a 5 or 6" superlift rubs bad on the back of the fender. **edit** with cut fenders.

TINK please let me know what your backspaceing is also can you post a picture of you blazer. Thanks Jim

Here is (was) my 91 Blazer with aftermarket rims (appear to be 3.75 backspacing) with 30s, running a 2" Superlift suspension lift.

Did it have flares on it? It looks like they are metal with the rust.

[Tink]

Those are Bushwacker flares on it... I think they look odd in that picture because of the reflection of my maroon K5...

most aftermarket wheels with the 3.75 bs push the tires way out causing major rub problems on the front. That being said... mines drivable with just t bar crank and trimming flairs. With your lift, you wont be fighting the height of the tires just the width...

I love your Z. I have rubbing on my stock height Z with factory 2" lift and the 31" tires. Well, when I have tires with decent tread, anyway. My flares haven't been trimmed. You can see on the flares where the paint has been rubbed off from my tires.

I want to lift my Z another 2" and throw on some 33"s someday :D

[Tink]

I did have rubbing on compression in turns... but did a lot of trimming to inner and outer fenders. If you run the cut-out flares (the ones on my Blazer are extend-a-fender), you should be fine I'd think with that much lift since you have to trim for the cut-outs.


My cousin needs those flairs so bad.....

If I decide to part her out, I'll contact you first.

I'd say definitely with the cut-out flares if you are using factory rims. Aftermarket rims with different backspacing can change where the tire sits in turning in the wheel well and can cause rubbing on the inner fenders.

I miss my fender scrub :(

Those were the same flares I had on the Jimmy.
