Will these fit

Hey all,

Got a question I got a possible good deal on some 31x10.5x16 BFG AT's local and was wondering if they will fit an 05 edge with the T-bar crank to level front with rear? Also if anyone has pics of similar setup can you please post so I can see what it would look like.

They sure are. You can run a 32x11.5 or a 33x10.5 just fine stock.

Good deal then does anyone have pics of them installed on a ranger. The deal I found was 4 of these with supposedly good tread "waiting on pics from seller" mounted on 4 factory wheels for $250. I have the Goodyear RT/S and yesterday went fishing and could barely make it off a gravel hill. Fed up with Goodyear. Are these much better in gravel and loose dirt?

They're much better in everything. Rain, dry, mud, dirt, snow, sand, I absolutely love mine.

Ok good I saw the tread off your cardomain. Are they worth $250 going from RT/S?

Definitely, 250 is a great deal if they have good tread.

Allright Guys. I decided I would rather go new and have decided on General Grabber AT2. My question is this. I have an 05 edge 3.slow and I currently have 235x75xr15. I pull a camper what is the best size up I should go without hindering towing yet still having a bigger tire. Here she is as she sits right now you can see how small these look. I don't want to change wheels so gotta be for 15's

They make a 31x10.50r16? Stock size of FX4 level2's are 31x10.50r15.



I'd do 31x10.50r15......to be safe. BUT imo, i'd do 32x11.50 if you want that beefy offroad look or whatever the kids are calling it these days. And espicially do 32x11.50's if you add overload springs/helper springs in the back. you won't have any problems.

Hate to sound like a moron but how much beefier are the 31x10.50r15 gonna look compared to the 235x75xr15 imagination isn't that great and really don't feel like pulling out the tape measure. Any possibility you might have pics.

That will do. Were your T-Bars cranked on the pic with the 31's? Thats all I am really looking for. I need to fill that wheel well out a little. Thanks for the pics.

You should be able to fit 31's without touching the T-bars.

yeah 31's will be fine on your truck...

with a T-bar crank (looks like it may already have one) you can get 33X10.50's in those wheel wells too..

Good deal I already did the T-Bar crank several months ago but it settled a little and can't do it more cause one of them is bottomed out. Might as well leave those lights up though christmas will be back in a few months ha ha ha. I like how your all's trucks look with the 31's. That will do just fine for me. Can't wait to get mine on payday.
