Front Fender Mod with 35" Tires

[gswiech]

Are there prefrabricated front fenders for a 1975 blazer to accomodate 35" tires. The truck has been lifted 6 inches and I don't want to make it any higher with a body lift. With the 35" tires there is no problem driving on paved road. I am really concernced about off-road driving as it is very likely that the fender will rub against the tire when I start having some fun.

I wouldn't worry about it . I have 35's and 4 inches . NO rubbing at all with a stock 15x8 rim .

I got a friend with 6" and 35's on his 84 blazer and rubs..

No one makes precut fenders, but its very easy to use a cutoff wheel and trim where needed. Dont havew to cut as severe as i did on mine below, but you get an idea.

Just trim them like said above. Here is 5" with 38.5" sx's and trimed fenders, I have yet have them rub.

I have a '75 with six inches of lift and sliced a brand new Bogger the first time it stuffed.

Here are a couple pic of mine.

OOOOOOPS , I forgot to mention , I trimmed to the inside fenderwell edge when I had 33's , of course I don't rub on 35's now

Aren't there some aftermarket glass fenders available with larger openings?
