ZR5 Needs to set on 33"s will this work?

Post by jsmcnabb6s »

HI, Im new to this site, i recently tried s-10 forum, but they seem to be more geared toward slamming, and customization, a member refered me to this site, I have a Yellow 02 ZR5, i have came into some money recently, and have plans for my truck, I was looking at some photos and have came to the conclusion on what i would like to do, ive allways had fast cars, tuners/muscle, but decided to go pratical, thus the ZR5, now i like to go out, hit the mud holes, and play. Havent really worked on trucks, or suspension. so here is what i plan on doing, please tell me if its a yay or nay,

I have a friend that is going to give me a set of aggressive 33" that are in good shape, not much ware at all, this being said i have read some forums, and done some thinking,

2" Shackel kit
1" tb Kit,
2" body lift
Fender Flair's and cuts
Wheels i think the tires fit a 15x8
and wheel spacers,

i dont know what kind of wheel spacers, because i dont know the back spacing on the wheels im going to buy yet, but i do wayt to them to stand out a little from the body, any comments, suggestions or tips will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

You'll be fine. Check out the "Marvelous Mystery Lift" for the rest of the package. You are on the right track.

I believe that they are 15x8, how much back spacing would i need to look for in a rim?
