lift kit, rim and tire size?

I have a 96 2dr blazer s10 4x4, and I want to put a 5 inch lift on it, but I dont want to lift it until i have the new rims and tires that will fit it. What size tire will fit a 5 inch lift?

32s will fit with stock rims, but you'll rub frame. You might be able to run 33s, but you will probably have to trim the fender a little if you get new rims with lower backspacing than stock.

I run 33x12.50s on 15x10 rims with 3 5/8 backspace with no rubbing ever. 5 inch trailmaster lift, 3 inch body lift, new torsion keys. My truck sits dead level
