New to the site and off road trailblazer as a whole. I'm looking to make my 2005 TB LT a good looking, economical, mall rated ride. Since its my daily driver and has fully loaded interior( power everything, leather, dvd etc etc) didn't see the need to go extreme. I've been doing alot of reading through the site. I think my best bet would be a 2.5" lift/leveling kit, 1.5" spacers and 265/65r17 a/t. Now that's all up in the air if funds run short. Which may result in a leveling kit and biggest tire w/o spacers. Thanks in advance for the site and all if any input. All mods to date; removed the running boards. And that's what started me down the off-road path.

Thanks, what's funny is everything there points back to here when u start asking spacers and lifts. Overall learned a lot so far. Looks like due to the wonderful upper ball joint, spacer will have to be purchased regardless of my lifting preference.

From what I can find, the biggest tire you can run without spacers are 265/70/16. I'm just basing that on the "build chart" that djthumper is running that size, and does not claim to be running wheel spacers. From my calculations, your width would be exactly the same, and you would be 0.05" shorter.
