Found some used Goodyear wrangler duratracs with tons of tread left for real cheap. Found it existing rims are 15x7”. Tires are 31x10.5r15

shouldn’t have any issues getting them mounted, right?

should be a nice aggressive look with the bigger tires

egchewy, what engine & transmission do you have?

That's a really nice looking truck.

Now, I know my truck sits slightly higher with the different springs, but I like the way my tires match the arc of the wheel well, with regard to size. I'm running a 315/75R16, Toyo M/T, which equates to about a 35" tire. The wheels are Centerline Wilderness Series Scouts, in a 16x10". Yeah, the tires look slightly balooney, but with a Supercab, I think it matches the proportions well. Anyway, just another take on the subject.
