No, 275/45/15 was never a stock tire size for the blaze. That would be insane if a blazer ran that stock. That is wider than my 31/10.50/15s. A 275/45/15 is a 24.7/10.8/15 converted.

But I have a '96 blaze 4-door that had the 235/70/15s stock. I put 235/75/15s on it and they rode well with no rub at full lock (stock). I then upgraded to 31s and did a little trimming with a 2 inch bl and no rub at full lock. Not really sure why yours would rub at full lock.

Just to keep you's updated, I have my brother trying to get a 2" body lift for my blazer this week to add ontop of the t bar crank and shackles, if that goes through then the tires will be able to be slapped onto my summer stock rims and test to see how much triming were gonna do. Stay tuned!
