Tire/Rim Question

[Nikoenig]

I'm pretty new with all this stuff, but i need to know if i buy a 31x11.50-15LT tire that will fit a 15x8 inch rim? and if it does cause i'm pretty sure it will, but wil that be rubbing quite a bit on an old 86 toyota pickup?

Thanks nik.

15x8 rim would be fine you will may get a little bit of rubbing but it wouldnt be much

[Nikoenig]

what if i bought some 15x10 procomp steel rock crawlers? with like a 2 inch offset. would they rub more? even if there is that offset?

i just got this truck and i'm just starting to fix her up, but i am pretty new to this stuff.

31x11.5x15 on a 15x8 rim with 4" backspacing should be sufficient. You could probably even run them on a stock rim.
I don't see why you would need a 15x10 rim...thats seems a little overkill for that size of tire.

[talon_92]

making the tire wider could cause more rubbing 31s would work on stock wheels

Dont laugh but, Whats back spacing?

[talon_92]

backspacing is the depth of the inside of the rim to the face of the mounting surface
