help with new tires...

[CDim30]

just completed the TT/shackle lift and I'm looking at 31x10.50 mudders (or 32s?). I want the tire to sit wide and stick out a bit, do i need 15x8 or 15x10, and what exactly is the lug pattern, 5 on 5? Thanks

You can mount the 31s on your stock wheels and 32s would be pusshing it, however you may have a slight scrape with the rear tires hitting your fender under extreme articulation with the 32s. Another thing to consider is whether you're gonna body lift it or not, tires are expensive and 31s look like doughnuts with 5" of lift.

Wheel demensions

Also the stock wheels are either 15" or 16" x 7" with a 5 on 4.5" lug pattern and 4.5" of backspace (I believe). I run a 15x8 with 3.5" BS. and it looks sweet other than my tires looking way too small for the truck.

Yeah but as long as I stay at about 3" max, I think it should look fine. I wish i had more money I'd do a bigger lift with 33s or something. Its alright, no ones X will look like mine around here when I'm done. Thanks for your help, I have 31x1050 Pro Comp MTs coming on AE0589s, and I also got Rancho5000s since the fron of her is bouncing off lane reflectors since my bars are so tight. It should all work out though, I hope!

Think about this.. for another $180 you can get a body lift. That way you can squeeze some 33's in there. And no one in VC will have a ride like yours!

But, then id have to pay WAY more for 33s than I do 31s... Maybe in a little while down the road...
