Default Rims for 31"

Okay so I have 31x10.5x15 tires and I am told i need rims with 4" offset and 8" wide. The tires arent here yet so I have time to shop around for rims. Does anyone know of these rims that are standard OEM size for another vehicle, and what that vehicle would be? So I can go to the brilliant people at canadian tire and let them order in the rims for me? I went there trying to describe the rim I needed, and all I got was a blank stare. Thanks a tonne guys!!!

You are right. The 8' wide is perfect. If I am not mistaken a 3 1/2 back space would work but the 4" would guaranty no rub. So you are on the right track to go with that size.

Thanks for the replies, the link didn't work for me
Do you guys know off hand what vehicle those rims would fit on as a standard fit? So i can either order it by that vehicle type or look in a junk yard or something? All i want is cheap steel ones, the cheaper the better

Stock rims and 1 - 1.5 inch wheel spacers will work just fine. 31's on stock rims and a 4 inch will rub a little on the LCAs wheels turned all the way. I was able to stop that by adjusting the bump stops a little. I didn't find it rubbing bad enough to mess with new rims or wheel spacers. 33's on the other hand 4inch back space FTW.

My stock rims are 7". I looked up the manufactures specs, available at TireRack.com, and found that the minumum size for the 31x10.5-15 tires (by all the makes I was interested in) was 7". I didn't have any problems getting them mounted at Discount Tire. I've had them on for a week now and traveled 600 mi. They are fine.
