those are the same ones I am looking at getting I think it would depend on your backspacing though. I want to get the Cragar soft 8's and those 31/10.5's

I rubbed with a 3 inch lift but only at full turns. I had the BF Goodrich Treadwrights and were not too happy about the way they balanced or wore..JMO...Tj

That wide of a tire on the stock rim with the 4.75"+ bacspacing...WILL rub LCA on turns

Check into getting some rims that are at least 8" wide and a 3.75"BS or less.

Soft 8's like EVERYONE has
Wagon Wheels like at least 3-4 members have

Either are rather cheaply acquired thru places like SummitRacing.

hey howler glad to see you back you too joe aint seen yall around, what about wheel spacers? they are a lil bit cheaper and new cragars are just out of my price range, maybe some wheels from another car or truck that will fit and have better back spacing?

I think you would be a lot happier with new rims at 15x8 with at least 4 inches a back spacing.

Sure you could go with spacers, but you'll have to a keep constant eye on them with maintenance re-checking torque. Plus one more thing to fail on you.

Here is a link on what I am running now.

31x10.5x15, 2"BB trimmed and bump stopped.
No rubbing rubbing any where.
