Default What size for the lift?

I'm in the process of getting the Rough Country 2.5" lift for my 01 4WD Blazer and completely unsure what size to go with. I know that it will handle up to 31x10.5r15. If I choose to go with a smaller size tire what would you all recommend?

If you don't go with 31s, go with either the 30x9.5 or a 255/75/15. They are similar in size.

I was thinking a little bit smaller. Not sure what. I had the 30x9.5r15's in mind. What would be the happy medium without making the 2.5" lift look stupid due to the smaller tire size?

30x9.5x15 will look alright with that lift. Any smaller wouldn't look right IMO but its all up to you.
