Re: What size rims and you running on 2wd lowered blazers

Probably the best info is in the 2wd Blazer and Burb picture sticky thread above, where you can find the look you like and see what they are running. What diameter rim do you want to run?

I am running 275/60-15, 235/70-15 but have not lowered it yet. Don't think it will be a problem though?

I had to move up to 17 inch rims to get the drop spindles to clear on mine. Running 275/55r17 on 17x8 Coy c5's. See some pics at

20" with 255/35 and 275/40 I can turn lock to lock the only time it would rub would be if I was all the way to one side and backing up. Going forward no issues..

22's rear 295/40/22.....20's front 255/40/20

If I were to redo I would get 22's all around
