Hey All,
After spending a few days researching, I am humbly asking for some assistance.
First, the important info...
Currently: 2008 Trailblazer LT, on stock 18x8 wheels with 245/60-18s.
Goal: Gain ground clearance and traction for strictly beach driving (no offroad), minimize tire poke, no cutting\trimming if possible
I don't want to lift this thing to the sky, just get a bit of frame clearance to keep off the sand, and gain a whole bunch of tire so I can actually air down and get some traction.
If I go with a 2.5 inch lift all around, lengthened shocks in the rear, and 1.5" wheel adapters, What is the optimal size wheel and tire for my goals? What are my width limitations if I am not looking for the tires to stick out from the body more than an inch or two?
Commonly I've seen 265/70R17 with 2.5 inch lift with no trimming. Is that my best option?
Any\all assistance is greatly appreciated!!
