Those are roughly a 31, so you should be fine. You might find a little trimming on the front fender corners necessary depending on your use, but that’s easy.

Currently DDing a 2001 in Alaska, mainly on-road but lots of harsh conditions and snow, occasional overland-style offroading. Currently about to end up just shy of 3” (Rancho 44148 leaves w/ RE 2700 shackle, OME 2930 coils w/ spacers TBD).

Bought stock & replaced dead leaves with dormans. Kept 235s for a little bit and then went to 30s. Absolutely no issues at stock height, 17.5” front & rear. I build as I go, as I can afford it, so temporarily threw on teraflex 1.25” spacer and 5” RE shackle (netted more like 1.25”). Currently sitting at 18.75” front and rear.

1.25” BB w/ 30x9.5 KO2





Went ahead and got 31s ahead of time, doing lift soon. Here it is still at 1.25“ BB w/ 31x10.5 KO2. Only had to trim front fender corners a little bit. Had previously removed front hanging trim under bumper/caps. Took off flare and bent back rear corners of sheet metal about an inch, trimmed fender a little, and now I have zero rubbing as-is.

Wheels are 15x7 with 4.5 BS (US Wheel 304 stealth star) - I got very minor LCA rubbing at FULL lock, but only sometimes - a single washer on steering stops fixed that.

I'll be posting the OEM wheels/tires for sale soon (and I needed one more post to hit the 25 threshold to be able to post in the for-sale section).
