Not entirely sure how to convert, but I belive a 31/10.5 is 280/75?

That's what I was going to figure out, I'd use your stock size and whatever the 31's come out to and see how much taller and wider they are.

according to an online metric converter : 31x10.5/15 = 267/76/15

So they're roughly 30mm wider than your stockers, which comes to roughly 1 inch wider. Split that between front and rear, you've got 1/2" on each side.

yes, that won't be enough. I reckon I'll need some 1.5" or 2" spacers for the rear. The flares are pretty wide.

I believe 1.5" is common to get the rears even with the fronts, but don't quote me on that.

Might be an issue to get them here in the UK though. 4.75 pcd is not a common size here

First off, good looking blazer! I like the lift!

And what they are saying is get aftermarket wheels or wheels that came stock on a camaro or 2wd blazer and then see about how far they stick out with the 31's.
