Alright,

I tried searching and didn't find much help on this.

I am looking at installing the Warrior Shackles in the rear and the F-150 Coil spacers up front in my 91' Exploder. I am also going to throw in some RSX or RS5000 rancho shocks while Im at it.

I am wondering what size tires I should go with, I am going to get a Combo set of tires / wheels with 15x8 Eagle Alloy Wheels and I was thinking of going with a ProComp MT 31x10.50 or 32x11.50

Think I could clear the 32" or not? I really want to go with 32s as I may eventually add a 2" body lift as well but that might not be for a while.

Any advice you can give me would be great.

Thanks
-Matt
 






I have the Skyjacker 2inch, which give you basically the same lift. I run 31x10.5 and while I have not measured it I think that 32 will fit. I also know that ChuckyD has 31s on his stock height X.
 






It depends on the truck. some people can fit 32"s with 2", some can't. If without the lift it looks like you have a lot of room, then go for the 32's. I'd worry a bit about the 11.5 width though.
 






Hey,

Well I am going to take my running boards off tommorow (anyone wanna buy some? :) ) and then I am going to see how much room is in there. I am going to lift it first then see, I may try the 32s and hope they dont rub at all or just a little bit.

I was a little worried about 11.50 tires also, but would they probably be alright since its an aftermarket rim (15x8) not stock?

Thanks for all the help guys.

-Matt
