31X10.50X15 on Eagle 0589

31X10.50X15 on 15x10 with NO lift?

31 X 10.5 X 15 tires on 15 X 10 Eagle 0589 (Mickey Thompson classic clones) with 3 5/8" back spacing -46 mm offset. Will thes fit a 91 EXPLODER with NO lift? I have no problems doing some trimming to inner or outter fenders and bumper, but would it work? btw I did a search, 31 x 10.5 x 15 will apparently work, but with 8" rims, I want 10 and have a backspacing spec. So, anyone know??

You'll need some lift, and with 15x10s you may rub on suspension components.

doing some searching, I find stock backspacing to be 4". These wheels are 3 5/8" . I was looking at the stock set-up with full lock steering and since these wheels are set further out then the stockers it does'nt look as though it will hit any suspension at all, nor the front bumper, but I'm pretty sure they'll rub on the inner fender. no biggy they are plastic. Anyone actually have this set up? Also, is there a 1" lift anywere? Can I get away with a one inch spring spacer of some kind and a shackle lift? How bad will my positive camber be? Can the camber be dialed back out (I dunno if camber is adjustable on this truck or not). Finally, were do I get this stuff? Ohh.... and Wil I need new shocks or will the ones I have still be ok?

Thanks, ~Mike............

you can use coil spacers from an f150 up front and warrior shackels in the rear. That will give about 2 inches of lift.

BTW: where in Va are you?

I'm in the Hampton Roads area, more specificly Newport News / Yorktown.

With a spring spacer, can the excess positive camber be dialed back out? also, can I use stock length shocks or will I have to get ones that are longer?
