Do I need to change a dimension on a 13x10.50R15 tire to fit a 15x(8) rim or does that size tire fit all 15x7,8... Rims?

Nope, a 10.5" tire will fit an 8" rim with no problem.

I want my tires and rim to stick out a little. And I'm guessing it will with a 31x10.50R15 tire. But I'm also guessing that my stock wheel is a 15x8? If I'm getting 31x10.5 tire. Shouldn't I just go with 15x10 wheel? I don't want stock skinny wheels. Any suggestions on what I should get??

go with the 8" rim. it will look better. 10" rims are better for 12.5 wide tires.

Befor I went to 33 I had 31 on a 15x8 rim so you will be fine. If you want your wheel to stick out a little you will need wheel spacers or get rims with back spacing.

You got pics of a 15x8 on 31x10.50? How does it look better?

Stock wheels are 15x7. Go with a 15x8. A 10.5 tire on a 10" rim will look goofy and it will be dangerous since blowing a bead with that setup is VERY possible. This is a 31x10.5 on an 8" wheel with a 3.75 baclspace

Doesn't look that bad, I just thought it would look like the rim is skinny and the tire is bulging out like crazy. Anyone got pics of a 15x8 with a 4 backspace wrapped in 31x10.50??
