Every once in a while a dumbass enters into the room, but he’s probably the smartest one in there and doesn’t even know it.
The real question is will 17x8 fit the back?
How would you like a little vacation? And yes...17X8 will fit the back. Did you bother to look at the chart?

This chart is made from the experiences I have with the trucks I lowered and put tires on and that still look good not to much wheel well space. Also tire sizes are what I and customers thought looked best on the rims. Not all people might agree on this but most of those who I have helped will agree this chart is fine.

18x7 4 inch bs 225 35 18<-bend rims easy but wil lay, 225 40 18 215 40 18

18x8 will rub bad and at full turn. but you are bagged so a 225 40 18 will work 235 40 18 will rub bad when laid out.

When you want to lay frame anything above a 25 inch tire you will have problems in the front on the fenderwells. You will lay hard on the fenderwells with anything over 25 inches.
20x8 4.5 bs 245 35 20 <--will be fine once lifted up but you will sit on the wells when bagged out

rear bagged

TALLER THAN A 26.5 TALL TIRE WILL RUB THE TOP OF THE REAR FENDERS IN THE REAR IF YOU ARE RUNNING A 2.5 C NOTCH OR MORE.


IF YOU GUYS WANT ME TO ADD MORE SIZES ASK AWAY AND ILL CHANGE THE SPECS.

FOR THE FIRST GEN YOU HAVE TO RUN 18X7 IN FRONT 4 INCH BS 17X8 HIT TIE ROD ENDS. if you run 17x8 will hit the tie rod ends.if you do get 17s then go 17x7 not 8. ALSO IN REAR IVE DONE A FEW 17X8 WITH 255 45 17 OR 18X8 4.5 BS 255 45 18 NO PROBS THE 18X9.5 WITH 275 35 18 AND 5.5 BS WORKED GOOD

This chart is made from the experiences I have with the trucks I lowered and put tires on and that still look good not to much wheel well space. Also tire sizes are what I and customers thought looked best on the rims. Not all people might agree on this but most of those who I have helped will agree this chart is fine.

CHART IS FOR S10S/SONOMAS BLAZERS 2WD ONLY HERE

Well this is a chart that should work and help you guys out 6 7 drop and bags here we go. THIS CHART IS FOR THOSE WHO USED SPINDLES AND SPRINGS. THE SPINDLES MOVE THE FRONT TIRE OUT 1/2 INCH.

No I posted to the thread I meant to, a couple of posts before mine a comment was made about pics of our bad*** dimes so to be a smart *** I did as such. Now these wheels are 20 x 8.5 with horrible backspacing so I got rid of them due to the mounting surface being on the very outside of the wheel.

Smart ***, 20 x 8.5 is specs. 4/5 drop if it makes you happy. This is supposed to be a place where people share and get along, not run their mouth from the comfort of their electronics.
Lmao, well we can tell who the newb is. You'll need skin thicker than the sidewalls on those rubber bands you got there.
