    Black grille guard with mounted kc road lights, 31x9.5x15 AT on stock rims. My future mod list: new white front bumper, Fat Bobs 2.75 spacer lift with rear AAL, american racing Flat Black Rims, 32x11.5x15 BFG A/T, satoshi grille with road lights mounted behind it, 8000k HID for all lights, 1'' Body Lift, new window tint, blacked out headlights and taillights, custom hood scoop, weather tech floor liners, LED dash cluster replacement, Front bilstein shocks, 40 series flowmaster, paint all my badges black.
    So everyone knows that they say a 31'' can fit pretty comfortably with the ready/FB lift but i was wondering with a little more backspacing and offset would 32'' be ok? i mean it is only one more inch and the guy at discount tire was going on and on about how if i had a 32'' mud tire that i would need the biggest offset/backspacing of a rim i could find. any and all help would be appreciated thanks guys!:thumbsup:

    Yea but he has a front end replacement so he doesn't have to worry about rubbing the wheel well. He told me to just try and see what works I'm just wondering if anyone else has attempted it yet most people stay with the 31's or smaller

    Can't wait to do the Fat Bob's this summer. Just got to wait till school is out so I can start working and saving up some money. I'm thinking about 265/70R16 on a 16x8 wheel. My daddy says 31x10.5R15 on 15x8's. I think both tires are the same size? Any suggestions?

    OK thanks. Is it worth paying a little extra to get a 16" wheel, or just stick with 15" wheels?

    just depends on what look your going for. im getting 15'' rims on 33x12.5x15 tires. when you start getting into bigger rims and tires you start having to play with rim offset/backspacing (like im doing right now), but otherwise just stick with 15's their are plenty of styles and the smaller rim and bigger tire look better on a truck IMO. Just go to discount tire and talk to them, they'll help you find what you want and to fit the look your going for.
