My Blazer is a 2019 2LT. It’s got a little bit of high miles, but at the beginning of the year it won’t be much. (Because it will be 3 years old-and I plan on not driving it much at all) I don’t drive it but one day a week. I drive My Van. In six months of owning My 2nd Camaro that I traded back in I only put 5,000+ on it?? Well anyway, the day after I bought the Blazer the radiator failed, the tensioner and the belt. I’m guessing the serpentine?? But anyway, I was irked! I bought this Car from a Chevy Dealer. The same one that the Salesman lead Me to believe that it was an RS because the previous Owner upgraded the grille. I asked Him on the test drive, doesn’t the RS have Red Accents, etc. in the interior? He didn’t answer.

It looks good. I’m not complaining, it sports 22” tires and wheels, blacked out lettering, etc. But, these People have left a bad taste in My mouth. Just thought I’d share. (It really needs a good waxing so please don’t judge..been too busy. Going into the Holiday Season working at the Post Office.

Hi Blazerina, love that name! I will get You the definite tire size maybe tomorrow. I did double check to see again that they were 22s, because, they do not rub. I do have mud flaps on the Car. No rubbing. The wheels have some scuff marks from the previous owner, but, I actually had an oops of my own going through Dairy Queen! I just touched it up with a small dab of black paint on my finger. I didn’t get caliper covers, no need with black wheels, and with all that red, didn’t need more red lol! So, I just painted them with black to fade out into the background of the black wheels. I didn’t do the backs, no need really. I’m actually missing my Camaro. So, with that being said, I’m a widow and My kids don’t have time for me, guess I will be taking the Blazer out tomorrow on Thanksgiving to get acquainted. I’m not going to sell it, but, I’m not used to it yet. It seems so BIG! Compared to the Camaro I had. I hope You find the wheels and tires you want! Keep in touch.

She’s a beauty definitely keep her . But the Camaro is nice as well . Yeah she feels bigger though . I thought Blazerina was small till I got next to a camaro and I’ll be damn she’s a good size . Only wish she came with a v8 though lol . But a good exhaust and tune shocks make her go fast . Thank you let me know on the wheels . I want to get a custom made set for mine . But I was thinking I have a Porsche Cayenne (ghost pepper ) thinking off getting the custom wheels for her though . And get some nice niche wheels . She’s my daily . I would be mad if I scratched my custom made ones .

I’m trying to do this from memory 😂 265/40/R22s There is not a lot of space between the wheel well and the tire. Actually, on the passenger side I think, I noticed that I need a new plastic clip to keep the black molding down and flush to the wheel well/where the side marker light is. It’s kind of pushed out. I only have been driving it maybe one day a week..I’m pretty sure it was already done I just now noticed it. But for the most part, the tires/wheels are ok as far as size. I’m actually contemplating putting a lift kit and a new set of tires/wheels. I have go talk to Someone at the place I’ll be taking it to if I do.
