Spectreblazer is on a distinguished road

30.9 should fit on your stock rim. i just don't know if they would fit under it without t-bar and shackle lift.

Yes they will fit. I have 30x9.5 on my truck right now with no lift and stock rims. Not even close to rubbing.

i think if you go with 31s you would have problems with rubbing, thats why i mentioned t-bar + shackle, i wasn't 100% sure , thanks sisk for clarifying

Yeah 31's will fit. We had them on my buddies Blazer not too long ago, but it's definitely tight on stock height. 31's will definitely rub. 30's will fit without any issues though.

old skool luvr is a glorious beacon of light

you can go right up to a 11.5 on a 15x7 wheel. i know everyone says don't go above the +4" rule (7" wide rim plus 4 more inches of tire = 11"), but i had 31x11.5's on my '92 Jimmy, and never had any issues with them.

it does depend on the tire maufacturer as well.
