31x13.5!
Came across some new 31x13.5x15s for cheap and was wondering what backspacing I would need. I have a 3.5-4 inch lift right now and plan on trimming the fenders a little bit. Let me know what you experts think.

Tire trouble...I run 35x12.5 on a 10.5 rim and 3.5 bs. the diffrence between a 8.5 or a 10.5 will make the tire either taller with a more narrow foot print (8.5) or squat with a wider foot print (10.5) at standard psi. until you air down if you do air down you will need to monitor the tire bead very carefully on a 8.5 rim it will be prone to pop off. and back spacing for that wide of a tire i would go with about 3.5 to 3.75 there going to stick out like a ***** but they wont rub.

Are you serious?!?! I run 33x12.50's on a 15x8 and it's perfect. One extra inch of tire width is not going to make much of a difference.

ah right because beads pop inward ok you win. but just the same Ive got a buddy running the same size tire with a more narrow rim and it would appear to be taller and more narrow.
