I've searched the crap outta this section but can't find my answers. Maybe my search keywords were wrong? Anyway...

What do the experienced guys say about running a 31"x10.50 on a 10" wide wheel?

I was looking at buying some 10" wide wheels from a fellow forum member and I already have a new set of 31" x 10.50 tires. I'd like to use them if possible..

What say you guys?? Do I HAVE TO buy new tires to run these wheels? Say 32" x 11.50 tires? They're the same offset as my 15" DC-1 wheels that are 8" wide..

Anyone have any pictures of any trucks with 10" wide wheels and 31" x 10.50 tires on them?? Bead popping off problems??

you should not run a tire on a rim unless the rim is atleast 2" narrower than the tire

so 12.5" tire on a 10" rim
a 10.5" tire on an 8" rim

i have run 30x9.50s on 8" rims without a problem though but a 31 on a 10" rim is way too much

 

That's what I thought and I just had some luck searching. Thanks man..

MODS PLEASE DELETE. DISCUSSION OVER.

Actually there was someone on here running that.

 

trigger had 32's on 10's

wait...did that one reg cab with the chrome soft 8's have 10" wheels and 31's? i remember him having some tires that were pulled prettttty tight

I'm looking for some 15x8's right now so I can still run my 31" x 10.50 tires.. I'm looking for something in aluminum with no clear coat. I'm not having this clear coat problem again..

F*ck these DC-1's!!

I'll have them up for sale soon, cheap.

youll want wheels with no clear coat until you run them through the winter...

 

I have no problem polishing wheels through the winter. What p*sses me off is that the clear coat on a almost brand new set of wheels has went to absolute sh*t in no time flat. I'd rather have to polish bare aluminum all winter than be stuck with a crappy looking clear coat job..

In all fairness, it's my fault. I knew to change back to my stockers for the winter but the tires on my stock wheels are almost bald so I had to run the new wheels and tires. I knew I should've just bought a set of tires for the stockers... Live and learn.. Expensively.

I'm liking a set of 8" wide polished auminum wheels I've found but the backspacing is 3.25 which is a bit too much. I'm thinking about excessive bearing wear.. I'll probably still buy them though..
