I suggest taking a look at the "stickies" whenever you open a subforum, they're there because there's tons of info and alot of FAQ's are answered in them.

31's is my guess, but you might need to trim still.

You can fit 35's no problem!

Just don't try to drive it let alone let it off the lift/jack stands.

Should be able to get 31's in there without trimming but don't quote me on that because I don't have mine yet. Should be able to get 32's with a 2" BL, t-bar crank and 2" shackles in the back.

Trimming is minor stuff if it's your truck.

I always liked the max-d look..the real cut out fender look that is..

seems like every blazer is a little different, but even with a 2'' body lift, plan on doing dome trimming to the bottom corner of front fender, rears are usually fine, if you run stock rims, may or may not have to trim, but 10.5'' wide tires really should be on a wider than stock rim, and its the offset on aftermarket rims that cause the problems with hitting the fenders, my 15x8 with 4'' bs, and 30x9.50 tires are gonna need a fender trimming so i don't have to worry when i go off-roading!

It depends on what you do with it. You might be able to fit 31x9.5 on stock rims IF you keep it on the road. They might rub slightly on bumps. If you go off-road with it they will rub quite a bit. Theres a lot of factors that will determine if they fit or not. Actual tire height and width (the size on the tire is not always accurate), wheels, where you drive, 2wd or 4wd, how much your suspension is sagging, etc..
