35s with no lift? 1990 Suburban

[GOLIATH1990]

I kinda asked this already on another thread but dont want to run that one off topic.

I know I can fit 33s with no lift but can i clear 35s with no lift and a little fender trimming? I havent been able to find a clear answer to this. Also does anyone happen to have any pics of this or close?

Thanks

Major clearancing needs to be done if your wheeling it, this is my buddies which was good enough for dd duties, but rubbed if you hopped up a curb. Still needs about 2-3 more inches of metal removed form the wheelwell near the cab on the front.

yep hack them fenders off.

i fit 35s on a 85 s10 with no lift so a fullsize should be easy

never mind the guy in the background lol

Yeah I have 35" BFG mud terrains on 15X10 rims on my 89 blazer and I had to trim a few inches back but works good for now.

Is there still room to trim? I dont mind trimming if I can do it. Your buddy's looks good.

I have a 2" block in the rear, a three leaf spring back in the front with a 1" zero rate, and minor fender trimming in the rear of the front fender wells. I am running 35x12.50x16.5" BFG's on 16.5x6.75" stock steel wheels.

Look at his front wheel wells, they are trimmed front and rear.

I just put 35's on my k5, no lift, on the original suspension. I will be ordering a set of zero rates pretty soon, but I like it.

here's where I asked the same question:

What he said. My Blazer has 35's and with 6 inches of lift up front, I still cram the tires into the back of the fender when I am wheeling every so often. I may have to trim a bit off even with the lift.

I agree, that little bit of flex I posted ain't nothing to how those could rearrange sheetmetal with some good articulation. I'll probably end up doing a shackle flip, etc. once I have a place to wheel that's not just straight mud

i can see that but i cant tell from the pics if there is more he could trim or not. that is what I was asking.

you can trim more, you have to cut the inner fender back, then cut the the fender back to the cab and only run one bolt at the bottom of the fender. My truck is cut to the one bolt, and the cut goes right thru the washer on the one bolt.
