extra 1 inch of tire will lift rear up about 1/2 inch.

Re: New Updated Rim/Tire Fitment For S Trucks

That'll look good. I love the 295/40/20 out back. Not alot of people make the 245/45/20's though. I was going to run a 245/40/20 and a 295/40/20 out back, but the only company that I could find that sold them was BFG and I'm not gonna pay their prices. I'll probally end up with 245/40 and 255/45, but I'm just afraid there won't be enough difference in the size of them.

Well the trailblazer ss ran a 11.9@112 on pump gas 5.5 psi boost and dont want to use that for everday driving its the baby. 3200 miles and almost 2 years old. IM gettin a 4 door blazer since im having a baby in december and well id rather that get used than the trailblazer. I allready have the 20x8 and 20x10 coys figured out. I might even go 315 35 20 in rear and 255 40 20 in front.

20x8.5 with 4.75 bs or 0 offset 245 40 20 on stock height will be fine if you lower 245 35 20
