Default 31X14.5X15????? Do they exist? Will they fit?

Found some 31 Dick Cepeks on D windows locally on craigslist. Seller says they are 15x12 wheels and the tires are 31x14x15 FC's. I can't find any info on this size on the interweb.

If they are that size, will they fit with 1.5 lift and 3.5/4 inch backspacing? I plan on doing some minimal trimming too.

with trimming, yeah. But due to the width of the tire I'd be more worried about rubbing in front of the door and at the end of the bumper when you turn the steering wheel.

That was my main concern too, turning radius and rubbing.

Cepek and M. Thompson used to make some wide 31s but don't think they make them anymore so if you kill one you won't find a replacement, new anyways. That wide you will rub while turning and plan on trimming an inch or two just to fit them.

He measured them, they are actually closer to 13. I plan on trimming at least an inch, if not more.

Plan on more or add a little more lift. Turning will be your biggest concern.

Well, I snagged them up. $100 cheaper than I planned on paying too.

Yep, gonna have to trim a bit. Hopefully the fuzz doesn't bother me about fender flares.

Also, these things are labeled 31" but they are almost 2" taller than my 30's. Bonus!! I was wanting 32's anyway.

Bald? There's almost 1/2" tread left.

They are definitely ridiculous. I wish they where narrower but for the money, I couldn't say no. The wheels alone are worth what I paid.
