Re: 73-87's Tire / Lift size chart (WILL IT FIT?)

Maybe,if there was an actual chart made,it could have columns for the different body-types.They never came up with a chart,did they?I`ll tell what I know with common sizes(prolly already know).I have 12.50/33s on my Blazer mounted on 10" rims.I had the front springs arched and a leaf added.I guess equal to Add-A-Leafs.It`s fine for street except a turn-in and up with a drastic angle change.I just do it carefully and never rub.I drive that way anyway to be kind to my vehicles.8" rims would work fine.
I have the exact same fit on my Suburban with a 4" lift and 12.50/35s on 10" rims and 8"rims would be fine.
The tires/wheels I`m running would clear fine for offroad with 2 more inches of lift:
12.50/33,10" wheels,4" lift
12.50/35,10" wheels,6" lift
Going to 14.50s or 12" rims would take you back to where you could rub with 4"&33s or 6"&35s.I`m not sure that 14.50s on 12" rims would require another 2" tp work at all:14.50/35 on 12" wheels might need 8"?Let`s see what others say.
BTW,good move,Bigarmz
