Those tires are 32.1 tall and 11.2 wide... Offset will have a lot to do with it...
go take some measurements and maybe a cardboard template for fitment....

You sure those are 22's? They look bigger...I love it!

To the OP, I have yet to see a bagged blazer (not laying frame) on 22's. This is my goal, so if you get 'em, post up some pics! Everyone is right that the offset will determine if they fit, but given the brand and they are typically for the newer SUVs, your only problem should be that they sit too far in the wheel well. If possible, have the guy let you try em on (and take pics so you can post em up).

There was a static dropped blazer on 24's or 26's posted here earlier this week... it was at SEMA and was black. I'll see if I can locate it.

I had to search for this one...I think this is the one you are talking about...Look like 24's to me...but I could be wrong. How much lower do you think it would be if it were bagged?

greens69 · 12-21-2010, 09:35 PM

Here is mine with 22s all the way around, but not laying frame.... sorry for bad iphone quality pictures.

**lolife99** · 12-21-2010, 10:25 PM

You have my favorite 1st Gen Blazer on here!^^^

He was asking about a 2wd, but dang I'm glad you posted that pic. That is just freakin bad ass.

greens69 beat me to it. Steves Blazer is a great example of how awesome the proper balance of tire/wheel and drop should look. The black Blazer posted above is a good example of too much wheel, not enough tire and needs more drop.

Beautiful. When I grow up I want a Blazer just like it.

clos69 · 12-22-2010, 01:50 PM

Here is my buddy Frank's 71 rolling on 22s all around. Fronts are 22x9.5 (5.5bs) and rears are 22x9.5 (5bs) on 265/35/22 tires

duceducenine · 12-30-2010, 02:52 PM

tubbedII · 01-08-2011, 09:18 PM

Well, I'm now on 22's...the wheels weren't my 1st choice, but they were a deal i couldn't refuse. I'm still in the process of bagging it, but it's sitting at a 4'/ drop in the pic. The wheels are U2 55's, 22x9.5 with 13mm offsets (5.75" bs).

jmedero · 01-08-2011, 09:48 PM

Tubbed and greens your trucks are killer!! I have a pic of me at 5 years old standing next to my dads blazer. I really have to get one if these one day.
