Leave it to the Chinese to export a tire brand that sounds like it was named after their sex trade industry...

 

[Swims350]

that's cuz when u see em you gonna kum ho. lol

 

[kleedus]

so it might take a little more work than I wanted

I am thinking I need to cut off the motor mount perches and lower the motor for better header clearance.
the blazers had the perches that raised the motor to give a better drive shaft angle due to the shorter wheel base than the trucks.
I am going to lower the rear 3'' so I don't think taking the perches out will hurt me. I think it may actually help me.

and I think I need to change the throttle cable and tv cable but not sure on that need to test fit the 4.3 ones

LOVE when new tires arrive at my door!! and 320 is CHEAP for a set of tires regardless of size!

 

[Swims350]

I thought he meant per tire lol.

yea I bought stockers for the wife's car local and it was almost 400 for hers and they are 225/60-16

I shop around a lot and most of the time end up going to ebay to find the best prices

summit ,jegs and a lot of retailers have ebay stores

they have to price stuff to compete so I love ebay

 

[kleedus]

ok solved my header clearance issue did not have to cut the motor mounts off

we had a discussion with a 2 pound hammer it decided to see things my way

got a new tv cable and throttle cable for the 350 and dug up a 350 tbi

wheels showed up today and I just finished mounting the tires

 

[kleedus]

come to find out the newer s10s have a smaller hole in the center for the hub so theses wheels will not fit without modification.

I have to enlarge the center hole slightly to make them fit. not sure yet how I will do it .

a flapper wheel on a die grinder or a hone maybe both

I could have the hubs and the axles turned down to fit the wheels but I think fitting the wheels to the truck will work out better for me
