I'm thinking back in the day the L78-15 was close to a 26.5" tire....
Never thought about shodding a stock K5 blazer with 33's as it wouldn't be very productive....the first time you had the thought to go offroading the lack of suspension movement and the size of the tires would become an instant issue.
My 79 is my daily driver and offroad rig...and is teetering on the verge of full time trail rig due to lockers...dents...etc. She made it in offroad magazine last year...they had a winching article and some of the shots were of me and a fellow K5 owner who both got hung up on a water fall...and were in the process of winching off...in that pic i was still in 4 inch lift mode with 33's....and was pleased how well the combo worked to run some nasty trails in az....(RawDeal...lower section...parts of lower terminator...etc.)....when i made the 6" lift job i went with 35" MTR's....under full compression we had issue's up front and required the use of a sawzall to clearance the fenders....but i guess if one just kept their rig as a DD and pavement only the sawzall part could be left out....march of this year the 79 reappeared in OFFROAD in an article called fullsize frenzy with a color shot of the 4 inch and 33's flexed out pretty good...if you have that rag laying around take a look...
