quick spec question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

How wide is the front of a Blazer? At the tires? I want to go get one today, but I'm not certain my trailer is wide enough. It's supposed to be a 16x7 however it measures 6'4" between the rails. It's a landscape trailer with permanent rails so it has to tucked inside that. Last night I was going to take it to Rhode Island to buy a Blazer, but it occurred to me (thank the Lord!!) to ask him how wide his was. With 33/12.50/16.5s and 3/4 ton axles, it measured 6'9" wide, so I didn't bring the trailer. Good thing, because it was a rotted out sh*tbox.
Anyway, next k5 on the list is a bone-stock 88, tires look stock on factory alloys, not sure if they would be 31/10.50/15 or metric sized, but should definitely be a good bit narrower. I just don't want to drive 50 miles each way to find it will not go on the trailer. I towed a 93 Chevy full size half ton on this trailer without a problem. Unfortunately I don't have anything nearby I can measure, and I'm trying to get hold of this guy to see if he can measure his for me. but I want to get on the road quick if I'm going to do this today. And happened to think of this forum, though somebody might know or could check.

Thanks!

My '90 is 6'8" on 33x12.50's...stock axles & 15" truck rallye wheels. Should be really close with stock width tires. Sorry that I don't have a definitive answer.
