Which size tire should I go with?
I need your help please.
1. I am looking to eventually get a 3" spindle lift on my truck, but I don't know what size tires to go with. Some people say 33's, but I have seen some 31's that look ok. What should I do?
2. Please post pics. of if you have 31's, 32's or 33's with a 3" lift.
3. How wide of tires can I put on my 15 X 8 Wheels? I like the wheels I have so I don't really want new ones.
I will ask for a PS of my truck after I get the right pics. so I can see what it would look like.

If your lift isnt too far off go for the 33s... any smaller with a spindle looks like **** IMO. And like David said, dont go wider then a 12.5 (althoguh i dont know why you would go wider)
so in conclusion: 33x12.5R15

not sure on a exact figure, but a 33" will get almost the exact same as a 32"
guessing.... if you start stock with 20mpg, i would assume you would drop to maybe 18 (Keep in mind you need to add roughly 1 mile for every 10 your odometer says)

i already sayed it once will say it agian 33x12.5x15 with a splindle lift and probly AAL and shackels in the rear and YES a 33x12.5x15 will mount and be perfecally safe on your 15x8...would the truck look alot meaner and better with a set of 15x10 yes but its up to you
