will 31" rub on a 2000 xlt V8 with no lift? and will it fit on the stock rim?

[ChuckyD]

does anyone know if a 31" tire will fit on the stock 5 whole rim... also does anyone know if a 31 will rub on a 2000 xlt V8 with no lift

i doubt it will fit... do shackles and tt and it will fit fine.... yes, a 31x10.5x15 or 16 will fit on a stock rim...

where do you think it would rub?? you think the tire is too wide?

 

[jimbo74]

it may fit with no rub.... but i would be safe and do the tt and shackles.... i have 31s stock on my 94 and i had to trim off the wheelwell liner......

 

[ChuckyD]

you think 255/75 r15 would be better?
its about 30" x 10

Mine rubbed the swaybar on my 91 with the stock rim. I know off several others who have the same problem.

The 31's will probably fit on a 2000 without any lift. I put 31's on the factory wheels of my '99 Sport. There was some minor rubbing on the bumper cover when backing up with the wheel turned, but a few minutes with a razor knife took care of that.
