Pics of Blazers running 33 x 10.5 Tires

Guys, I'm considering running 33 x 10.5 BFG All Terrain instead of the normal 12.5 inches wide. Anyone out there running the 10.5 wide can post some pics. I would like to see how they look from all angles especially from the front and rear. Thanks in advance for any help.

Re: Pics of Blazers running 33 x 10.5 Tires

Thanks guys, I really like the height of the 33's on these trucks. Wish they came in 11.5 inch. Leaning towards the 10.5 between the widths available.

Re: Pics of Blazers running 33 x 10.5 Tires

I think you'd be pleased - I'd like to drop my lift from 4" down to 2" may be better visual balance with the 33" tires but that's just me

Re: Pics of Blazers running 33 x 10.5 Tires

The front diff and springs was out of a 77 short bed for the disk brakes.
Pretty sure its all pretty much stock height. Was thinking about putting a 2" lift on it.

Re: Pics of Blazers running 33 x 10.5 Tires

Don't mean to hi-jack the thread, but will 33's fit without a lift? 35's?

Re: Pics of Blazers running 33 x 10.5 Tires

Mine are 32's or 33's I can't really remember which but still stock height. I'll try and remember tomorrow to verify which and take a picture.

I'm afraid you will have some tire rubbing issues with that big of a tire, I remember when I replaced my 33's with 35's Big difference I had a 4" lift but a 35 tire was a whole lot bigger

Re: Pics of Blazers running 33 x 10.5 Tires

Did you ever decide on a tire size? Here are some pictures of mine with 33 10.50 15 tires. I thought I would give these wheels a try, they are 7" wide.
