Default biggest tires on stock wheels

hey guys im kinda new to this site so bear with me. i have a 1996 blazer with stock wheels and tires right now. this is a daily driver so i want to keep things cheap and still be able to hit some mild trails. i was wandering the biggest tires i could put on my stock wheels after putting a 2" body lift on? i was also wandering if putting 1.5" wheel spacers just on the rear would hurt anything. thanks for yall's help.

I believe the 2" body lift will let you run 31x10.5 without any other mods. I'll leave the wheel spacer discussion for someone else.

I'm assuming your Blazer is not a ZR2 model since I'm not sure they made them in 96'..

But as lombard said, 31"s are the biggest you'll want to go with a 2" lift. As a general rule of safety, I believe you don't want a tire to be anymore than 4" wider than the rim... Someone correct me if I'm wrong please. As far as backspacing, I wouldn't worry about it.

if you want a wider stance you could always throw some 2wd wheels on thatll get you about 1.5" wider on each side iirc, but if you wanna run spacers a 0.75" spacer on each side will even up the rear with the front.
