It will not hurt your blazer as long as all the tires are the same size. You can test fit the wheels, making sure there is clearance and each wheel turns properly when mounted in the truck. Here is a calculator to show you the difference in the tire size. Your speedometer will be off a bit. https://tiresize.com/calculator/
I would i get the speedometer back to right speed do i gotta take it somewhere will hit be faster or slower then what it is now
The tire size calculator shows the differences: 50mph indicated on speedo would be 45.3 mph actual speed. 60 mph indicated would be 54.4 mph actual. So this tire change would make you speedo show higher than your actual speed. You would have to change the speedometer gear in the transmission or just live with the difference.
I figured it'll be about 5 miles an hour slower but it wasn't sure but I appreciate it thank you so much man I hope you have a good day
