275/70r18 BFG K02's on 1.75" spacers.  Slight rub on reverse at full turn, not enough to do anything about.

Honest I wouldn't worry too much about the weight.  I'm running MT Baja MTZs that weight 69 lbs each along with rims that weigh 38 lbs each and my truck still launches with no issue.  I have not really noticed any loss of acceleration quickness

What size MTZ's and do they handle well in the snow. Any rub, or mods to get them to fit?

305/55R20.  You have to do the mudflap bracket removal mod.  No rub after the mod.  I live in Michigan and they are excellent in snow.  They wear really good and have a long tread life

No rubbing what so ever ... I added a 1 1/2” leveling kit after

I removed the mudflap bracket, crazy the clearance it added. Going to get either the BFG KO2's at 305 65 18 or the Nitto ridge 295 70 18. Cost about the same. Trying to decide, but if the BFG's don't fit then Nitto it is. I do not want to level or add spacers. Thanks to all for the input.

No problem.  Glad it worked out

I put my new wheels/tires on today. 20x10 -18 Fuel Vandals w/ 33x12.50 Nitto Ridge Grapplers. The wheels slightly brushed the front brake calipers, so I had to add 1/4” spacers. So now, it’s at about a -24 mm offset. There’s only a slight rub at full lock on the back of the wheel well. It’s a Trail Boss with the 2” stock lift. I’ve also added a 1.5” MotoFab under strut leveling kit.

Looks great, have you done the bracket mod?  That will resolve your rubbing at full lock.  Remove the mudflap, there is a small bracket that provides support for it, remove that and re-Install mudflap, this will push mud flap back enough and should eliminate the rub.

My friend just put 35x12.50R18 BFG KO2 (34.50x12.50R20) tires on her stock 18” wheels with no lift or leveling kit yet with very little to no tire rub.

What exactly did you push back? I reinstalled and pushed back some but it comes back to almost exactly the same place?

I was able to fit 295/70r18 Nitto Ridge Grapplers on the stock wheels. No rubbing what’s so over. They fit perfectly.

New guy here! Switching from Toyota...no hating!

 

Has anyone put the 295/70/18 in the spare tire slot? Did it fit ok?

 

Upgrading before I buy my truck and trying to determine if I should buy 5 tires. I always heard it is not good to run a smaller spare on a 4x4

      2018 Silverado Console USB Port Not Working

      By Tbhats2130 · Posted

      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.

      I have four that read by the dash 8 to 10% better than miles/pump calculations and I have one that is spot on.
