Yeah.. I'm with Kid here. I wouldn't guarantee there would be zero rubbing.. It will be close. If anything you can do a small TT if you gotta.

You need to pull a muscle in your jaw. :p


JK kid! :D
 






31x10.5s dont rub except for that one steep downhill section that I take too fast at the bottom, otherwise I'm rub free.


P.S. Dont hang the backpack around your neck... :p
that's why they have shoulder straps.
 






Spare tire

Will a 31 inch tire fit under the truck where the spare is?
31's look great. The flares on my Eddie Bauer makes my 235's like a woosy truck. I need larger tires bad.

I have 30X9.50s with my wheels, which i think have 3.75"BS, they rub my mud flaps at full lock. Because that tire is wider, Its going to rub more. Even though its not taller, there is more being turned, and when turned to full lock, the "length" of the tire is longer and will therefore rub some. I can't garuntee how much, if any, but mine rub a little, like i said on my mud flaps, w/o them I'd gain about 1/2 inch. Hope this helps, and isn't too confusing.
