looks and will work good IMO......trim it. my "go to" setup on almost ALL my '75-'91's was 2 1/2" lift, 35's and some angle cuts.......one would have to be intimately familiar with GM sheet metal to notice. and they stuffed, lock to lock just fine.

that has been my favorite rim since my first Blazer, the '75 K/5 I had in '83. I was goin to get them for my "new to me" '97 Sierra i'm picking up this Saturday, but wasn't sure it's the offset I want on this truck......I like stock rims.......so for now i'm gonn try the 2010 17" round hole 'chrome clads' my buddy has....and i'm staying stock height for now, will probably just do the 265's Duratracs till I learn this truck and what it needs......then i'll figure out what I want to do with it, height wise.....or not.....she has open 3.42's now, glad the rear is open too.......I think i'll end up with wanting 33ish and go from there. the gearing ain't right for them now for how I drive and use it. 4.10's are probably in my future.

after you trim a "bit" more than you think it needs, try and stuff each wheel up to the bump stops lock to lock and check for clearance......now is the time to get it right.

have fun
