I have 31x10.5 on stock rims. They look fine but the tires rub on the lca's. Wheel spacers would probably help. Or get the correct backspacing rims.

Yeah for sure 15 if you have no lift and 31's will be fine except at full lock to left or right I tan them forever on my 89

#1x10.50's can go on a 7" wide rim, but you'll have backspacing issues and will rub on the LCa's as other have said. To fix this, there are a few options:
1. WJ LCA's - do require some grinding to fit.
2. Wheel Spacers - minimum of 1.25"
3. Properly backspaced rims (4" backspacing)

Ok because im planning on buying some 31s from my neighbor for $250 for all four tires which i thought was a good deal. And i am also going to make the wheel spacers because i have the equipment to do so and itll save a lot of money

Unless you REALLY know what you're doing, please don't make the spacers yourself. a 2" spacer requires you to use a bolt on spacer. Those lug spindles need to be very strong and very well placed, as well as the hub bore being dead on. Otherwise, a lot of vibes are gonna happen and it'll either come loose or break. Spacers are not an area to go cheap on.
