I just bought some 31/10.50/15 tires yesterday to put on my Jeep. I was wondering what size wheels I have and if they'll be alright with 31/10.50's mounted on them. I'm guessing it's either 15X6 or 15X7 but I'm not sure. Maybe someone can help me out here...Here's a pic of the wheels before I painted them. The Jeep has 225/75's mounted on it now...

i believe they are 15x6.5 or so they might not have enough back spacing for a 10.50 wide tire you can try them but they will rub the control arms and the tire rods. but maybe some one could tell you the exact back spacing on them

I figured that it would rub but I'm not exactly worried about that. Rubbing doesn't bother me. I'm just hoping that they'll mount on my wheels without problems. I don't want to have to shell out some more cash and get some wheels.

the width should be OK

Ok thanks man. I think I'm gonna have to take the fender flares off before I can have them mounted. The tires actually measure out to 29.5" tall but they still look like they might hit the fenders.

Those are stock 15x7's with like 5+ inches of backspacing. You can mount a 31 10.50 on them no problem. It till actually help hold the bead on tighter when you air down. They will rub your LCA's at full lock but not the tierods. You'll be fine running them for a while, I did.


Are you going to be running any lift to put the 31's on?

TapouT

So they're 15X7's? I'm not going to be running any lift. I'm going to remove the fender flares for a little extra clearance. The tires measure out to 29.5" tall probably because they're at about 50-55% tread. I think they'll stuff in there no problem with some room to give.

thanks i was not 100 percent sure i know they are not much back spacing but i was not sure of the fit

uh... They'll measure that small cause there not inflated mounted on a rim. Go ahead and take your flares off and trim your fenders. You can probably mount them like that but they will rub like crazy unless you cut alot of fender out. A simple fix is to do a simple BB on your jeep. If you do ZJ coils with some spacers, rear bastard pack, and some new 3" shocks you'll have a great rig for running 31's.

No they're mounted and inflated on 15X8 wheels. I bought them mounted on 15X8 wheels but the bolt pattern is different. It's 5X5.5 and the Jeep is 5X4.5. Sorry, I guess I should have cleared up that they were already mounted and inflated.
