Got a question for Brad2???

I just purchased a 71 2wd Blazer. I wanted to know the wheel sizes (including backspace),of you TTII's, and the tire sizes you used. I'm talking about the ones in the pics, when it was still red. Also could you post those old pics, and any new ones. Your Blazer is the reason I had to have another 2wd. Thanks, lolife.

Cool, I miss the red (old) version. Mostly I wanted something to drive the wheels off of and it is not that kind of vehicle anymore. My computer has been down but luckily I just got it back this morning. After I get it home and hooked up I can put some pics up. The fronts are 20x8 with 4.5 bs and 245/40/20's. The rears are 20x10? I can't remeber if it is 10 or 9.5. The bs is 5 and the tires are 295/40/20's. The front fits great! The rear is tight! It has a new rearend now and it was narrowed three inches and the inner fender got some work for extra clearance. If you are going to use airride what I used with the original rearend is really to tight of a fit.

The rear section of the frame has a pretty decent kick-up so the floor had to be raised.

Yes it was bagged with the 18's. It just wasn't laid in those pics.
