The BS on the rear wheels is actually 6.0" but I use a 1" billet adapter that changers the bolt pattern & put the BS to optimum for the truck. The wheels are actually sized for an early GM muscle-car.

what kind of drop are you using? love the stance.

Are you running the stock inner front fenders n2billet? If so with that tall of wheel and tire how far is your front tire from touching the inner fender at driving height?

The reason I ask is because with my 18s [255/45 tires, 4.5 BS] and 83-85 lbs in the bags I am only about 1-1/2 inches from the tires touching my inner fenders.

5/7. 3" Bell tech spindles w/1 coil cut from the stock springs. Western Chassis flip kit (HD 8-leaf spring pack), WC shock extenders, & Bell Tech dropped shackles.

They were stock front inner fender wells & the gap was pretty dang close.

I think he was referring to the OP. The year of the Blazer in question was never mentioned...in the last 2 years.

I personally like 20” on the 67-72 and the next one I build will run 20/22’s just
To be a little different

The wheels and tires on my red 68 are 255/40x20 on the front with a 20x8 ½ inch wheel (5 ¾ backspacing) and on the rear I run 295/40x20 on a 20x10 with 4 ¾ backspacing.

Did you have to modify your hubs to fit those?

I'm running 18's all the way around

18x10 rears
18x8 front
45 series tires

I'm planning on 22's in rear and 20's up front?
