Default Need help figuring out what to run

Hey guys, I just got my 2" body lift and 2" suspension lift in the mail and now I'm trying to figure out how big of tires I can run. I'm not a big fan of trimming and would like to avoid it if at all possible. Any suggestions?

I'm running 31's right now with the stock setup. Are you sure I can't fit 33's?

not by a long shot!

you need the 6" SL as well as the BL for those.

You didnt have to trim to run 31s with the stock setup? Do you get full steer?

no, I didn't have to trim at all. And it doesn't rub at all. That's why I figure I should at least be able to get 33'2 on there with 4" of lift

well, before you ahve a 1000 kids (me included) run out to get 31's to put on our stock rides..... how about a bit more info

Like year, door set up, #wd, suspension package (i.e. z71, zr2, etc)

See, if you are an 88 k5, that makes a bit more sense than if you are an 04 2dr 4wd

My guess is you are an 01 ZR2

its a 2000 Blazer LS 2 wheel drive 4 door. stock as can be for now at least

and I wouldnt recomment putting the 31's on there. its fine for the look but if your planning on going offroad its going to rub like crazy (hince he lifting it)

you might MIGHT be able to pull off 265/75r15's

are you SURE your tires are 31's right now? not to sound like a jerk, but in order to stuff 31's under a 2gen at a minimum you would need a t-bar crank and something for the rear (shakles, add-a-leaf, etc)

you can get 30x9.5's under there.... but i would bet $$$ that either your 31's aren't 31's OR you have more under there than you think (ie: not stock) under there

**EDIT**

wait, what? are you suggesting 31's to yourself after saying you are riding 31's?
or
are you saying you in fact have 31's on stock and are just tearing the hell out of them and are now lifting to correct it?

if so, you could probably do the 2" SL and 2" BL and rock 265/75r15's but i'm not 100% and you will probably run into the same rubbing issues
