OK, I have researched and researched on here and elsewhere and I can't figure out what tires fit the stock Blaster rims WITHOUT rubbing or hitting the mudgaurds or floorboard. I have a 2003 Blaster (for some reason seems to have less clearance than older ones), stock rims, and some new Bandit A/T 20 x 10 x 8 tires for the rear. Most people on here with aftermarked tires run either aftermarket offset rims or wheel spacers, but I heard that Bandits may fit without rubbing, especially these 20 inchers. I am probably going to mount them just to try but I hesitate to do this because it would be a hassle if they don't fit. With stock tires on there I only have about 1/2 inch of clearance between tire and floorboard. Will they fit? Thanks.

 

Oh well, screw it, I'm mounting them anyway; it's worth a try. Just realized there was a tire section on this bb too. Anyway, what size wheel spacers do you recommend and where can I order them from? 1.5" should be plenty right? Thanks.

 

Well, just a heads-up for those of you with 2003+ Blasters: The tires fit but BARELY. The left side has some room to spare but the right side, thanks to the longer floorboard over there, only clears the tire by about 1/4" if that. If I got a flat tire it would really suck I think, and these are only 20" tires! Whatever you do, don't get tires any bigger than 20 x 10 x 8 if you plan on keeping everything back there stock, because there is no way anything bigger would fit. I also don't like the idea of stress-causing wheel spacers unless they are about 1" which looks like what I might do. Heck, the best plan is to go for an extended swingarm and kill two birds with one stone.
