About to pull the trigger
2004 Envoy XL
Formerly wife's ride, kid carrier, boat hauler. Soon to be off-road play-toy/hunting truck/go-places-I-couldn't-before mobile!
About to drop coin on:
MARKMC 3” BODY LIFT
1.5" thick hub centric 6x5.0 hub side to 6x5.0 wheel side.
3" suspension lift kit
265/70R17 GUARD DOG M/T
Sticking with the stock wheels and the previously listed retreads to try and save a little upfront out-of-pocket.
Any thoughts/comments/suggestions?

Will THESE fit?
Found the wheels I've always wanted, but Im not sure if they will fit, or what I will have to do to make them fit. I drive a 2005 Trailblazer LS 4x4

Aside from that, from what I am reading, lift will depend on the tires you're wanting to mount.

Thanks dopp. Choosing the correct tire size is where I stand now. Any suggestions?

I'm not 100% sure with those 15's.
As you can see from my post, this is all theory for me, just repeating what I've read. (buying suspension lift, spacers and tires next week!)
With the suspension lift and spacers, I think you are somewhere in the neighborhood of 32" tires. I'm just not sure about the exact tire size with the 15" rims. (I'm sticking with the stock wheels for now) I'll be sporting something like a 265/70 17.

Good spot to check tire height if it is not specified by the manufacturer.

I just installed a 3" suspension lift and 1.5" spacers on stock wheels with the same tire size you listed and had to do a little 'trimming' to eliminate all the rubbing.

The 3" suspension lift is prob a bad idea the strut arm hits the springs at full extension.. not good but still driveable. the 255/80/17's are a lil bigger than 33"s and have no prob with clearing. But all in all I am satisfied. I will add pics if anybody is interested. And Thanks for the input from this thread and forum.
