Default Bought new tires. What size rims?
Bought some 31x13.5 Goodyear mudders. How wide a rim should I use and what backspacing? I need to know asap. Thanks

You could get away with lots of sizes. If they are actually 13.5" wide, I would go with 10" wheels and 3.5" backspace or so.

Super Swamper 31x13.50s recommend 8 to 10in wide rim. Google good years.

a 9" or 10" wide rim with 3.75" of back spacing or less. if you can't find any wheels that have less back spacing, then get wheel spacers like the Spider-Trax or try Rigged Up OffRoad.
