Tire and rim width.
Ok heres the thing, I bought 15x7" Black Rock Crawlers last summer, dont ask me why I went with the stock width on an aftermarket tire 
.........yah and i know zach you told me so. But I wondering if 15x8's would really make a difference on how wide my 31's look? So to sum it up will the 8's look better than the 7's? Thanks yall.

It would be an inch difference...lol right?
31x10.5 tire??
On a 15x7 wheel, the tire will not stick out past the fender.
If you get a 15x8, it will most likely stick out a 1/4 inch or so..makin the truck look a lot better IMO.
Maybe we can get a few pix.
I had 30x9.5 on a 15x8 and they were pretty much even with the fenders. (with fender flairs)

level II's come with 15x7's and 10.5 wide, so i would think the tire should be touching all the ground as it sits, but yes, a 15x8 would help flatten the tire so it is touching all of the ground if it is not already.
If you plan to go any bigger then a 10.5 wide tire, then you need to get a wider wheel.
My opinion is yes, a 15x8 wheel will make your truck look better.
