New wheels/tires quick question

Hey guys, just want to make sure these tires will fit on my new wheels. I'm ordering a set of Mickey Thompson baja radial MTZ's today. There 31X10.50R15C. Question is these will fit on a 15x8 rim correct? just want to make SURE befor I buy them so everything works out the way it should, thanks for the help. these are the rims btw.. http://www.modbargains.com/product.a...d=Ultra_164_MW

i have 35x1250s on a 15x8, so yes

don't get a 15x10 wheel if the tire is only 10.50 wide.

Oh I could clear 33's with a bl.. I just don't have the cash for them at the moment.. :( So I'm just going to go with 31's I think it will look just as good. 203 per tire vs 167 ayyy
These are the tires and all the sizes they offer.. Mabye I'll get 32's? I don't see any on that site for a 15 inch rim though or any other sites for that matter... http://www.ntwonline.com/MTZ_RADIAL_...T_P7027C30.cfm

Should I just wait then and get another 80 bucks or so for 33's? I want to get them mounted asap, plus I won't have the bl for a bit.. till I come up with the cash. I think it would look sweet still with 31's but I dunno

Rob who posted above me a ways up ^ has 31's with a 3 inch bl.. Looks sweet IMO. I just looked at his truck, plus trent has 32's which are only an inch bigger so I pretty much eye balled that setup as well I liked both but that's just my opinion
