22's on the blazer

[Spkrman]

After "selling" a few times... I Just put them on the blazer //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

and no, they didnt fit... had to do a lil cuttin, but its all good! The trip home was fun... I could *barely* turn enough to make it... lets just say if there was anyone in the opposing lane when I was turning, I would have had to sit there and wait for them to move, or run into em.

Thats what was cut... the inner well cover you can see is obviously cut... I didnt do too hot of a job on that - but the rest you can't really tell was even cut, looks lke its supposed to be that way. Also nipped a little on the front part of the wheel well, again, you really can't tell.

Wanted to sell to avoid the cutting... which is why nearly everyone just gets 20's, or does a 20 in the front, 22 in rear with 1st gen blazers. Was worth it though, looks pretty sweet //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

btw, note the sneak peak at the current wall setup //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Looking good, how much did the tires run you?

Do some other stuff to the exterior, not just the rims.

In theory, yep - "worth" 3-4x as much with the tires... but they didn't "sell" for more than the blazer would sell for, so in reality, no.

But the blazer has more sentimental value.

Looks alright, but you really do needa drop it, get rid of that ghetto 2 tone paint job, and ditch the spare tire. I don't know if your front windows are tinted, I'd say do those and the windshield.

Then you will be pimpin

BAD.... VERY BAD... lol

After the season is over it'll see some paint or if I get a van/pickup etc... can't afford to not have it for the 2-3 weeks it would take to do the body work/paint.

i like the blazer //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

1st gen = my fav body style... car is an 85, I was born in 85... it works out.

the rear will probably get lifted to match the front... I absolutely can't drop it, unless I plan on hacking/redoing the frame.

They weren't thinkin about 22's back in 85, lol.

Yea, the front sticks out approx 1", the rear lines up with the side of the car. I'd like to have both even with the side of the car, I prefer that look... but eh, what can you do.
