You know you are limited on how wide a tire will fit the rims you just had redone right?
How wide are they 8" if so then the 31x10.5 is good.
If 10" wheel and I don't think they are it may say the 31x10.5 will fit but I can tell you the tires do not wear right.

Good looking rims you have there, my 86 flareside 2 wheel drive came with 31 x 10.5 x 15" tires on Keystone turbo aluminum wheels and to me it looks like plenty of clearance and plenty of rubber tire showing. Barry B.

Thanks guys. I think sticking with the 31x10.5 is the right choice. They will look better then my 235s at the moment for sure. And also like FuzzFace mentioned above the width of the tire can be an issue. I know some guys are running 11.5 wides on these rims but the 10.5 wide should wear better. Its hard to look for pictures online because everyones truck sits a bit different. On some trucks the 31s look huge and then on the next they look small. My rear seems to sit higher then most 2WDs in my opinion and my Dad is pretty sure that my Grandfather ordered this truck with a heavier rear suspension.
I do think these rims will add to the trucks appearance though. I'm thinking I should add the small chrome fender well lip trim as well since I have no trim at all anymore.
