Default 31s on Stock Rims?

Can I put 31" tires on my stock rims or will I need to get new ones?

u can but since the stock rims are usualy 7inch,it will make the tire taller and make it more narrow,thats what my buddy told me that builds mud trucks,he has 10inch wide rims on 15inch wide swampers

You can if you have 15" rims. I have 16" rims. I found the meteric conversion for 32's and put them on. If you dont have a lift, dont get 31's, they woun't fit.

31's will work just fine with at least a 3" lift. (No trimming anyways)
I run 31x10.50x15 BFG M/T KM1's on my stock alloy wheels. They will rub on the control arms. To counter this I installed WJ LCA's, they have the S curve that allows for larger tires. Hope this helps!
