That tire should fit without even removing the inner fenders, and you probably won't have to notch the frame for the tie rods either.  And you should be able to get it to lay out with stock spindles, there are ppl with S-10's on 20's with stock spindles.

I layed mine on 17s with a 205/40 with drop spindles and tube lca's. I didnt remove my heat but the tire did remove the blower motor for me. If you reshape the blower box it should be fine.

I had a 1st gen blazer with lower control arms and drop spindels. with  a205/40/17 tire.I I had no problems clearing the heat box of blower motor.I dont think you should of hit the blower motor at all I would say something came yp and hit it not your tire.

No it was the tire. It hit when the front was down with the back up about 3 inches
