Re: Big rims!

Re: Big rims!

Can that thing even turn? It looks like the tire would hit the fender with the slightest turn. Different rims and tires and that would be a sweet ride.

I doubt he can turn...not with that lift. Check out the dish on the rims, he must be real close to a zero backspacing.

Re: Big rims!

That poor thing is begging for some 17" rims and some 33's

(17 or 18 is the biggest that i think looks acceptable on a 4x

Re: Big rims!

I think the over all lines of this blazer are being compromised to accommodate these large rims imho. But then again it's his ride!

esll.

Re: Big rims!

Are the axles shortened, or are those wheels sticking way past the fender. Or maybe both???

Re: Big rims!

I really think this is photoshopped? look at the angle of the plastic covering under the blazer? Look at the location of the front passengers wheel? look at the wierd shadow line under the tailgate on the floor?

Re: Big rims!

Wow Carter. That does throw in some suspicion, mostly the shadow. The wheels look like they are actually on the truck. Usually when you see these chops, they use the same wheel front and rear but rotate or flip them to match the perspective. These are definitely different wheels front and rear. Also the plastic going up under the wheels matches quite well, but that shadow is very odd.

Re: Big rims!

All I see in the first pic is a Blazer that needs more lift. Oh and get rid of that bikini top that doesn't fit.
