Recently I mounted over sizedd tires on my blazer. The originals were 235/75r15, hte new ones are 31/10.50r15. The new tires rub on turns Ive beat the wheel wells in but they still rub sometimes. A friend told me that I could tighten the torson bars to lift the front end and possibly remedy this problem. Is this possible, and if so what affect will it have on the car. (The car is a piece of crap I an just running it into the ground. But I dont want the tires to blow out on me. Its also a daily driver.) Also the left rear tire is wearing on the inside what could cause this.
thanks.

You can find spacers that will fit the hubs making the tires sit out further.

Cranking up the torsion bars will lift the front of the vehicle. You can actually lift it quite a ways this way. Just make sure you don't over-extend your suspension, shocks, brake lines, etc. Then have your vehicle re-aligned.
