So, I'm done with all the drivetrain mods and the truck will soon be off to paint. I need to get some 8 lug wheels and tires (converted to tons) for when its time to put it all back together. Problem is - I'm not real sure what I can fit so I need your opinions. And yes - I've looked all through the "what will my truck look like...." thread, but I was hoping for some specific advice. Here's what I've got:
88 Blazer
No fender trimming
4" front springs
shackle flip
Dana 60 / 14bff
Rear discs with e-brake
1" ORD body Lift
I used to run 35s with a 4" lift and 1/2 ton axles (sig pic), but the larger axle tubes provide a tiny amount of lift and then the body lift. I'm OK with 35s, I just don't want them to look tiny. This truck will only see moderate offroad use so no fender trimming and I'm not too worried about 'full' articulation. For wheels, I'm kinda digging the classic locks...whatya think? Too poser-ish?
Anyway, what will fit? and what will look good? I've thought about H2 wheels, but slightly concerned that they're not offset enough (looks-wise). Advice and pics would be great. Thanks.
