Pictures of Fat tires on a 2wd.

I had been PM'd a request from a member to post some pictures and fitment specs on the tire combo. This was done last year but the board change lost that info.

Rear Rims are 15x8 Rally with N50-15 Protrac tires (equivelent of 345-50-15). I would say this is the biggest you can stuff on a factory rim with no rubbing or sticking out. This is still on stock springs.

Front is 15x7 255-60-15 but that doesn't matter.

Re: Pictures of Fat tires on a 2wd.

Do you happen to have any side profile pictures?? I have a '69 Burb w/coil spring rear suspension. I was planning on either a 4/6 or 5/7 drop. I will be using 15x8 rallys with either 265/50/15s all around or 295/50/15s in the back. But, I may use those tires you have. I was thinking 295s were the biggest for a stock rim.

As long as you have the rally's, I would feel safe up to a 345-50-15. These suckers fit. I't will be lowered one of these days. Here are your pics.

JMHO, but if you are going to lower it, consider redoing your
exhaust, it may just be the pic, but it looks low, BTW that's
bad @ss, I would LUV to own a 2wd Blazer some day.

Yeah. The exhaust will get redone someday as will the drop. 3/5 is the plan. The exhaust is just ghetto rigged on.

Re: Pictures of Fat tires on a 2wd.

I have 265/50r15 front, and 295/50r15 rear on 10" rims. The PO lowered it somehow with springs. I do not know what kind of drop I have. I think it looks OK at best. Oh yea, The greatest dog in the world does like it. Miss Chloe Bell, my Aussie. I will take her for a ride, and she will sometimes sit in the back seat - - - Head up way cool
