Hey everyone, im really not sure what the name on this rim, or anything about it other than its 15 x 7 sized wheel and 5 x 4.5. I have an idea for a paintjob on them that should come out looking pretty sweet.

So the next question is, will i be able to mount 31" x 10" or 31x 10.50" tires on these wheels without having any rubbing issues on a 3.5" lift?



Thanks

not unless you don't plan on turning the wheel all the way... the backspacing is too much, you need something with closer to a 4 inch backspacing. I believe the stock ones have like 5.5"

its not the wheel you should be worried about here its the size of the tire rubbing. for instance im running 33s on my stock rims with a 4.5" lift. so your prblem is the 31s and the 3.5 nothing to do with the rim size. i think with a little trimming you should be fine with 31s and 3.5"

I ran 31X10.50s on a stock wheel and it wasn't really a problem. It will rub when the steering wheel is turned all the way, but they will stuff all the way without running down the bump stops. A good trade off in my opinion.

Ok, i will most likely space the wheels out approx. an inch too, so if i am thinking correctly, that would help with the rubbing at full turn issue also?

yeah, 1 inch wheel spacers should solve that problem, or switch out to some rims with a 4 inch back spacing like the crager soft 8's. As for the lift... There are alot of people running 3" lifts and 31x10.5x15's without even taking the fender flares off.
