Here's my contribution -- I finally put a decent looking set of tires on to replace my 235/70/15 Uniroyal POS highway stockers.
BFG AT KO's -- 30x9.50x15 Paid $505 mounted and balanced, with roadhazard from the local SAMS club.
I think the tire vs. wheelwell and truck height all balance out pretty well - I have the PA 2" BL, and daystar shackles with torsions cranked a few turns.
Plenty of clearance, and no rub at full lock either directions - the truck should have rolled off the dealer's lots this way -- Chevy would have sold more.

2000 S10 Blazer 4x4 4Dr. -- 2" PA BodyLift, Daystar Shackles, TB Crank, 1.75" Rear wheel spacers, Yakima roofrack, 30" BFG AT's.
1969 VW Bug -- airbagged and in pieces.
1962 VW Karmann ghia -- rusting over in the corner. "That's not a tool--that's a damn brick!"[/size]

Justin wrote:those tires in 31" rub the frame. I wouldn't suggest them especially if you have 3.42. But none the less, they are a great tire and wear really well
Thanks guys -- I posted those pics about midnight last Sunday and then went on vacation for a week the next day.
Yes it's shiny -- first time I have washed it since Feb 27th -- cause I got married the next day.
And yes, I have 3.42's so I decided to try and split the difference between 235/75/15's and 31's.
Thanks for the comments guys -- now if I could get a new safari bar for it and my new KC's mounted I'd be back in business.

adrenalnjunky - I just wanted to comment on how good your blazer looks. I'm going for the same look, but don't think I want to do the 2" bodylift so i'm gonna stick with an add-a-leaf kit and t-bar crank. Do you think I will be able to fit those same tires with the mods I have said and not rub? Great looking truck!
2000 4-Door Blazer 4X4-Stock for now, but have plans.
2004 Ski-Doo MXZX 600 H.O.
With an AAL or the Boise Springworks kit, and t-bars, I would think you should fit the 30's pretty well.
The 235/75 isn't a whole lot smaller than some 30's, so it will probably be ok, you might run into some of the same back-of-the-front-fender clearance issues that the guys with the BL and 31's have run into.
I decided on going with 30's on mine after seeing pics of one of the guys here ont he board--was a black truck, and had no BL.
Hope it helps.
