How big is too big? Tire and rim question.

[mtber714]

I have a full size 89 blazer, and Im looking to put new rims and tires on it. Also I dont have a lift and I dont plan on getting one anytime soon. Currently i have the stock rims which are 15x8 and tires which are 31x10.5. Im looking to go bigger mainly in width of the tire and go slightly bigger in diameter. What would be the best set up without having the tires rub? thanks.

I had 33x12.50 all terrains on the stock rallys on mine with worn out leaf springs and they cleared fine. I think with some fender trimming you could prolly squeeze some 35x12.50s on 15x8 rims.

I wouldnt need to get larger rims for that size tire?

no you dont need a wider wheel to run 12.5 wide tires. 8 is plenty.


i have 33 12.5 15's. Tire rubs at full lock/stuff. This is with shackle flip and lift springs on front

You could also run a 32 x 11.5. 1" taller, 1" wider and should clear fine without a lift.
