Default Biggest Tires For Stock Blazer

What is the largest tire you can fit on a stock 1998 blazer before rubbing becomes an issue and you have to trim the wheel well or lift the truck.

Look at the 'stickies' in the "Tires & Wheels" section. Your answer is there.

That is because the tire is almost if not 31" tall.

I put on 265/75r15 on my 2wd when the front was stock, just cause the tire store was on the way home and I was fixing to go lift the front, and it rubbed like heck. But now that the front is lifted about 2 inches I don't have a problem unless I'm at full turn, then it'll rub the frame.

I was able to fit 31in by 10.5in on my blazer, but it will rub just a tiny bit on the front wheels when you crank them one way, entirely.

I am going 33" A/T's, going to trim it, suspension lift, see how hard the body lift is.

You'll need to do more to get 33" to fit, just saying.

Ive got a 95 Blazer with the torsion bars cranked up 1.5in and then put 2in lift shackles in the rear. I'm running BF Goodrich AT 31x10.5 R15 and they only rub at full turn. I am going to put 1in wheel spacers in the front to take care of the rubbing on the fram at full turn. Then do 2in spacers on the rear to even it out.
