Offroad Trailblazers and Envoys

285's

Trailblazer and Envoy related, but not off-road related...

I have a question. I currently have the leveling kit, treadwright guarddogs 265/70/17 and 17x8 wheels 23mm offset. If I get 285/70/17 wardens so you think they would fit with spacers. The reason I am asking is because I know treadwrights run a little big but to fit the 265's with my current wheels don't require spacers and it looks like if I get the spacers I might get away with 285's.

With spacers, we run all sorts of 285's that end up being 33" nominal diameter. 70/17 and 75/16 are very well represented.

Cedd, you might have to do some considerable trimming with only the suspension lift.
I think NC_Island_Runner is running 33's with only a suspension lift. YOu might check with him on it.
