bigger tire size on stock explorer?

[bigslimm]

I have a bone stock '93 explorer sport 4x4, would like to put 31x10.50 mud terrains on it but not sure if they will fit, stock tire size is a 235/75r15.....or should I jus go with some 30x9.50's, I dont wanna have any issues with rubbing when the suspension is flexed or when steering, what do u guys suggest, want something wider and little taller than stock

Do a search - the question has been asked many times before!

But I will say that I have had 31s on a Sport before, and it didn't rub unless you were at full steering lock or turning in reverse (2wd+saggy front springs). That was street driving of course and only for a little while. I think 30s are a safer bet, but every tire is different and it also depends on the wheels you use. If you do a search you can find pictures and setups that others have run successfully, as well as confirmation of what doesn't work.
