Looks great with 18s and all that rubber.

 

Yes Im glad I went with 18s. Was gonna do 20s but I ended up with this setup because I had seen it before and liked it plus saved a little on tires and wheels compared to 20s

Dropping the Sierra off Wednesday morning for a RCX 4 & 3/4 combo lift with basically same wheels as baggedlvintegra, Moto Metal 970's 20x10 with - 24 offset, but went with the 305/55R20 Toyo Open Country AT II's Extreme for the shoes. Installer is skeptic he won't have to trim all night long so I'm hoping I have the same luck as this guy! Wish me well as my baby goes in for the operation. I'll post pics and results asap. ujagy9um.jpgruvatuba.jpg

I had 33 x 12.50s on a stock truck without any level/lift. They didn't rub. Still had at least an inch clearance.

Its the wheels that cause the rubbing. Negative offset is what does it

33x12.5: cooper st maxxx: 305/60R18: (specs: 32.64" x 12.1") (no rubbing)

33x12.5: Nitto terra gapplers: 305/55R20: (specs: 33.07" x 12.6") (rubbing)

 

Looks like you found a perfect set-up.

I think the inner fender liners are pretty floppy and can rub on one truck and not on another. Also, wheel offset gets more critical as they get larger.

I'm thinking about switching to the AT2s myself so please post pics ASAP so I can see how it will look!

Will do! I saw them mounted last night but not on the truck, still looked sick. Should have the finished product this evening along with pics.

I like that you're doing something other than flat black wheels. I just can't warm up to the flat black wheel look. The wheels just disappear when they're flat black and the style of the wheel doesn't show.

 

Is that a bronze? Black truck? Should look classy.

Thanks! Yeah, it's a matte bronze on an all black Sierra. Hoping to do something a little different... Original idea was to run with flat black on black, but... eh, let's try something new :)

    • You could try a used 1, they used that engine in the Astro vans, Plenty of them in the boneyard. Look for a wrecked or rotted 1 so the chance that it was scrapped for that reason and not a mechanical issue will be greater
    • Google converting 98 4.3 spider injection to carburetor if all else fails. 
    • My centre console USB ports haven’t been working and the one in the glovebox is starting to act up. When I plug my phone into the cord the radio will go black and stop playing, and the CarPlay is inconsistent.   I checked the fuses and they were fine. I changed the USB port out and still nothing. Hoping for some advice on what I should be looking at.  
    • The truck is a 1995 Chevrolet S10 Blazer, 4.3 VIN "W" engine. :cracks knuckles:   On a whim - because I needed a headache - this truck was for sale so I stopped to take a look. Doesn't run. Well, it does, but barely. Long crank, choppy idle, bad misfire(s), it REEKS of fuel. I can DO this..I'm thinking. Diamond in the rough. One owner until last year. A young guy is selling it, he bought it 6 months ago. It stranded him more than once, he's got a newborn. It was in the shop 10 days ago and he "thinks" they said it needs a new fuel injection system. He can't put any more money into it, needs it gone. I was thinking of upgrading my Macbook, which is a total want, not a need. For less than the price of a new laptop I can have fun for months tinkering on this truck and enjoying it. I'm taking this truck home. The guy was beyond thrilled, his wife was there, she thanked me profusely, I could tell they were hurting. They seemed like good people in a bind.   Some parts, a wash, maybe a set of tires, and I can have a few months of fun and then turn it for beer money (or the next project).   Sure enough, there's a work order from a shop last week in the INCHES of paperwork on this truck dating back to when the first owner bought it. They put a new distributor in it, fuel injection work describes basically opening the plenum and putting it back together. He said he couldn't afford any more work so he had them button it up and that's when he put it up for sale.   I'm not well versed in 4.3. I did discover 1995 uses the 1992-1995 SCPI "Spider" injector which is riddled with issues from splitting lines, clogged or cracked poppet valves and plastic spider legs that crumble over time. Cool. I'll just order me a ne---. Oh, the auto parts store doesn't have it? Rock Auto doesn't have it. eBay? $$$$$$ for used. These are UNAVAILABLE period end of story unless you know "a guy" who's still got one in a box somewhere.   Can't upgrade to the '96-'04 injector, it's a different plenum, wiring/pinout and sensor config.   There are a few kinda "know a guy" -guy rebuild services for these injectors out there for about $350. Okay, Okay... I'd like to know if anyone has used them? Anyone got a lead on these crappy 92-95 spiders?   I also don't want to send MY spider to Narnia and back without knowing if that's truly the problem. I guess I'll need to pull apart the plenum and do some digging.   I was also thrown for a loop. This 1995 model year truck has an OBD-II connector. The interface is decidedly not OBD-II. I can read and reset trouble codes and view live data, but there's not a lot of data. Like misfire count and on what cylinder, that's not there. It's OBD-1.5.   Nothing is ever easy. Now it makes sense why this guy wanted to disappear this thing for cheap. I'm guessing the shop told him the injector is toast, the part is unobtainable and they're not going to sort sending the thing to a rando offering rebuild service on craigslist, and the kid likely can't be without a working car for 3 weeks even if they'd facilitate that.   Experience with these early SCPI's? Stories? Things to check? Sympathy? (..Nah...)   This can sit until I sort it. But I haven't had a problem with a vehicle I couldn't easily solve in a long time.
