[hdoggie24]

wanted some opinions on what kind of tire and size. just gonna do a 2.5inch lift and my wheels are going to be 15x8". needing new tires soon and will do lift after that sometime but not sure. 98% onroad and 2% chance of very mild offroad. any advice. what sizes are u guys running? thanks

did yours come with 15'' wheels ? id say a 32x11.5 would work fine or a 33x10.5 maybe ?

my size i have on now is 15 x 7 stock. but i have a new set of 15 x 8" wheels im gonna use. not going with bigger rim than what i have.

With a 7" rim, you should not get a tire that is more than 10.5" wide. With an 8" rim, you can run a wider tire. I run a 12.5" wide tire on the 15x8" rims on my Jeep. The thing to watch for is if you go too wide, at full lock (steering wheel turned all the way), you might rub the control arms or other parts of the front suspension.

i was thinking a 11.5" wide would be good. i saw a 31x10.5 at tire shop today and it did look good but was thinking a tad wider would look better. so if i went to a 11.5 wide tire do i need to go up to lets say 32" or could you stay with 31s. remember my rim is 15x8"

Well, if it wont rub and you can find one, then it should be fine. However, IIRC, most 31's are 10.5" wide. At 33's they step up to 12.5" wide...

Keeping the same size tire and the same rim. I just installed the spacers and new shocks to counteract my sagging springs...
