i think you can fit 30's
when i bought my blazer it had 30x8.50 15 on it i think
i know they were 30 not sure on the width

30's are as big as you can go with stock height. I'm running 30x9.5 R15's right now and they're as close as you want to cut it with stock height.
If you're looking to go bigger (like 31's or 32's) you'd need to look at a 2" body lift.

with those rims(4" backspace) i would stick to the stock tire size if you choose to run 30's youll have to trim.

30x9.5 will work but as Mike said you'll have to trim. I'd recommend finding some rims with stock backspacing.
