Default Tire fitment help

Hi, longtime lurker, first time poster.

I have a 2000 4x4 LT Blazer with a 2.5 inch Rough Country suspension lift. I recently bought a set of 84 Z28 Camaro rims to put on some 31x10.5x15 tires. I was under the impression these rims would fit without a problem because of the lift. But when i Installed them there was major rubbing on the trim and inside of the wheel well on the driver and passenger front sides.

Went to an offroad store and asked for some advice and was told that a 2 inch body lift should be enough height difference to clear these rims on these tires.

So looking for any information you guys have about this and help me figure out what to do. Don't really want to have to do trimming to the wells but will if I absolutely have to.

Thanks in advance.

If you do not want to trim... lifting is your option.

So the 2 inch body lift will give me enough clearance? because the wheels were barely able to turn so its MAJOR rubbing.

Default Trimming

Sorry to keep asking you questions, but do you have any pictures of your truck where I can see how much trimming you had to do? I'm wary about doing it myself.
