How about 33s? Had to run a 1.25" spacer to clear the control arms though. 31s would have been fine though.

How did those 33's fit on the wheels? Are they plenty wide enough?

They are 33x12.50s and fit just fine on a 7" wheel. It does make them look a little bit narrower but I prefer the narrower wheel. I run my 38x1250s on an 8" wheel and wouldn't run anything wider. My spare happens to be a 38x16x15 and I have it on a 10" wheel, bit narrow for the tire but works fine and less chance of popping a bead.

According to this website they are known as "Lace" wheels.
