I've seen 31x10.5 on a 15x10 and it works but I don't like the look personally. I've also heard that such a setup for trail use is generally a no-no because when you air down for rock crawling the beads can separate on extreme flex. That is also the case on say, a 31x10.5 on a 5 or 6 inch rim as well.

I'm not sure how to space out a bumper. I bet if you took your bumper off and looked at how it goes on there you could come up with something. Like you said, maybe just washers and longer bolts would work.
I know I had rubbing problems with my 31's before the lift. I am sure you will have problems with 32.

No, my bumper has been relocated. It's still one inch off but it is raised. If I really wanted to I could correct it.. but I just don't care enough. lol
Just the radius arms. I still don't like it rubbing there. No big.

31 inch tires are great!
31 inch tires do the job well. Not to wide, and a pretty good hight. But, yeah tires do cost. What do you need these tires for? What kinda driving. Snow tires i have found are great in mud, snow, sand, they work well for me. 85$ a piece for my 235/75/15's. They last for less miles, but have a great grip and are cheeper by far. Good luck. I like 31's or 32's. 32's do well too really.

no luck with tires yet i just dropped $191 on some monroe sensa trac load adjusting shocks this morning coz my others was so wore out my trucks an 88 and it still had the originals on it with 122K miles.... :P
i want bigger tires on coz it looks good and i may not have 4x4 any more but i still like the way they look the only off-roading my truck might see is parking in the grass or maybe backing the car trailor in the feild away from the house...
>.> people get so sensitive when u block the drive way for some reason
i would go with 33's but no money for lift so i was going to go with 32x11.5R15 the ones i posted earlier im not sure how close they will be to the bumper the rear is fine...
and im not worried about it rubbing the radius arms lol i just dont want to rip the bumper off or tear a hole in the tire turning in to a parking place
