You can get some 22s on there with out any mods. I've seen it a thousand times. You know you want them so you should try to get you some 22s. All you need is the right measurements.

I think I'll have to raise the front too much which means I'll have to raise the rear and that is more work than I am willing to do.

Dude, his blazer is hammered. he aint fittin no 22s without any mods. Hes gonna have at least a 28" tall tire if he goes 22s, and its gonna rub hard.

I had 22s on my 79 with a 3/4 drop and it was about as low as i could get it without any rubbing.

Ive got a 5/7ish on my 86 and it wasnt even drivable with the stock inner fenders

Im not saying he shouldnt get 22s, just that its gonna take a little work to get em to fit
