View Full Version : Can I throw 31's on a Stock '91 EB? ExplodingMan 08-10-2002, 12:49 AM Just curious... I dont really want to pay for a lift right now. Some tips with help. Soundguy01tx 08-10-2002, 01:36 AM You shouldnt have a problem. Most ppl have no issues with it at all. Im holding out to do shackles and spacers, then goin to 31s myself... keep it real and hope that helps. --bryan Crankcase 08-10-2002, 01:41 AM It depends. If your springs sag a bit, they might rub. Some Explorers fit stock, some don't:) dejello 08-10-2002, 11:53 AM I tried a set of 31s before my lift, and they only would have rubbed in a turn if I hit a bump (or maybe without hitting something? I dunno). Again, my springs and everything were old, but there ya go. At that time, I chose to go with 30s.. But you might have better luck.. And now that I think of it, I really wouldn't have had much to worry about. They were on there for a few months and I stayed on the street... And now they're sitting in the shed out back.. DOH! Oh well... Soundguy01tx 08-10-2002, 05:40 PM you've got 30s sittin in a shed? --bryan dejello 08-10-2002, 05:54 PM Yup, sittin' on stock wheels... Why? :) Soundguy01tx 08-11-2002, 12:24 AM Well Im just thinkin, theres no reason to let a good set of rubbers go to waste... Ya know I could take care of those down here... :-) Haha... just a thought... --bryan dejello 08-11-2002, 10:34 AM Hey, you're in Houston... That's not too far from here. They're BF Goodrich All Terrains, you think you'd want 'em? Soundguy01tx 08-11-2002, 04:00 PM How much tread do they have left? How much $ would you be lookin for? Its my policy to never say no until you consider all the options! :-) --bryan dejello 08-11-2002, 04:33 PM Well, I had them on for about 4 months and I probably put about 3-5k on them. Treadwise I'd say about 95% left (Just a guess, I could go out and measure if you'd like). Moneywise, I'd like to get a couple hundred or around there for them (set of four, wheels included if you want). Email or PM me if you're interested jldegelia@yahoo.com punkbek3886 08-14-2002, 01:35 PM i live in florida and i might be interested in your tires and rims. ill pay for shipping. are they 30's or 31's? ChuckyD 08-14-2002, 02:10 PM The 31's should fit. Some 31's are bigger then others. I have herd people say that that their BFG's rubbed but their pirelli's didnt... dejello 08-14-2002, 05:17 PM punkbek3886 - they're 30x9.5's on the stock 15x7" wheels... ExplodingMan 08-14-2002, 05:51 PM How much for all? dejello 08-14-2002, 11:45 PM Oh wow, wasn't expecting the responses... Is this something I should ask Rick about? (Cause I'd be selling something) As I said before, I'd love to get around $200 for the tires and wheels together (paid twice for the tires probably, and the wheels are an added bonus) :) XplorMud22 08-15-2002, 11:13 AM You shouldn't have a problem running 31's stock on your Explorer. I had 31 BFG MT's on my 94' XLT and they didn't rub. Soundguy01tx 08-15-2002, 12:37 PM dejello... do you have any pics? Also, does it make a difference that I have a 4x2 not a 4x4 as far as the wheels go? Ive always wondered that... BC of the hubs or something lol... Interested in sellin just the tires and not the wheels? Since I already have em I mean... Lemme know thanks. --bryan dejello 08-15-2002, 07:42 PM Sorry, no pics.. These were before I realized I should be taking pics... I just went to the shed and pulled them out to take a look and refresh my memory: The tires are in excellent condition (just dirt as far as I can see, will inspect closer), never took them off-road... Tread in excellent condition The only difference I can think of in the wheels are the two front center caps (they have a hole in the center for the hubs to stick through, you should be able to use center caps off a 4x2). Just saw I'm missing one of the rear center caps. And for selling just the tires, sure :) |
