Just bought my blazer so i dont know anything about the suspension but it had 32x11.50 x 15 now. Just wondering if 33x12.50s will fit my truck, I want to use some soft 8s for it but dont know how wide i have to go . Will just put the pics

Yes, 33s will fit. Just buy the tire you want and do what you have to in order to clear it. Cut the fenders, throw in an add-a-leaf, etc. Spend some time looking through that thread, it'll help. More than your pics helped us.
 
The rear is generally OK. It's the front you have to worry about.

You might have to hammer in the inner lip of the front wheel wells but should be OK for general driving. Just be a little cautious hitting large bumps and turning at the same time....it moves the tire back just a bit more creating a little more rubbing. Should be OK otherwise. Keep in mind that different manufacturers have different "actual diameters" 33" is not 33" in all cases. But most tire shops will test fit one and put it on the front axle to see if you have adequate clearance for the tire.

go for it.
 
i will be ordering online so that is why I ask. is the 12.50 width ok ? And what wheel should i go with. looking for black, thanks

Dude, 4 people told you to read through that thread supplied. All the questions you are asking are questions that have been asked, answered, and better yet, it has pictures too. Do you want us to search the web too for the best deals too for ya?

Search, and read, the method of success, it is amazing

Here it is again,

you have to go through 100 pages to do so, instead of explaining what you did above you could have just answered my question. Im not trying to be a jerk but I dont have THAT much time to look through all those pages.

you have enough time to reply with snide remarks, but not enough time to open a thread and type 33" in the search bar? :doah:

just like the thousands before you over the last 10yrs or so on this site... any question you have has already been answered several times, search a little. and honestly, your photos are about useless for a tire/fender clearance reference. take photos looking square at the fender, not from an angle the way you did.
 
Truthfully, 12.50's are going to hit. YOu can make them work...but they will probably hit more than you want.

Stick to the 10.50s

On my 3/4 ton, i have 1" add a leaf's front/rear, and still had to do some adjustment to the fender corners to clear 12.50's. My wheels are wider, but still....if you want to not do any modifications, get 10.50s.

pushing the axle forward an inch or two would help. theres more room to cut up front, no floor boards there. thats what i'm planning to do.

Yep, tons of ways to make it work. The minor adjustments ive made have pretty much done it for me.

BUT, considering the original poster doesn't even want to do the research.....i'm guessing he wants to know what bolts on with zero thought. :doah:
 
Have to agree with the above posts....there are literally thousands of posts on here asking the exact same question and entire threads showing pics.

The next question is whether your truck is stock height or not? It's really hard to tell from the pictures but looks like it could be lifted. An overall sideshot of the vehicle would help, and also look at the front and rear springs.
 
Specs on the wheels and such on it wouldn't hurt either.
 
Not everyone gets this whole interwebnets.com thing.



(At least he's using grammar and punctuation and not using all caps.)
