Looking to fill in wheel wells, 94 pickup

I have a 94 pickup 2wd with 30x9.5 R15" tires. The truck came with a 3" lift and with the tires it has you can see alot of space in between. Iam looking to go bigger but not to big where Iam paying more on gas and loosing to much acceleration. I am interested in BFG A/T KO 31x10.5. Anyone have pictures or input about what I should get?
Thanks

You're gonna get bashed good, for not doin' a search on that subject. My opinion is 33's, though I run 35's, with alot of care. Not a "safe" choice I warn ya.You'd probably need pre-runner susp. But if you wanna come hang-out on the edge with me, there's plenty of room here.

31s are as big as your gonna want to go. When you step up to 33s, kiss your gas mileage and acceleration goodbye UNLESS you want to regear.

What are you trying to accomplish here? There are plenty of LT setups you could run but it sounds like you are just trying to do things on the cheap. My advice would be to get you a set of 31x10.50s and remove/add lift to get the amount of wheel well stuffage that you want. The reason I say add is because you might want to get rid of your lift, and buy a 1 or 2 inch body lift just to be able to fully clear the 31s.

Everybody knows you can't lift it right without and SAS or 35"+ tires!!!!!!

Everyone suggests doing a search or getting bashed, yet without some "filler" threads, this forum would be alot less interesting. Yes, I encourage that you search before asking, but I don't think you should be denied a solid answer. [/rant]

If it is a true 3" lift front and back, you ought to be able to fit 33x10.5x15 without a problem. 31's at minimum, as they were a stock option.

I gave an answer didn't I. Maybe of no particular use, but I agree open-mindedly with you. (howdya like that ) Oh, and my truck is very fast, once I get goin', 'cause those big ol' meats I roll mean, no need for brakes around corners. 35's killed my IFS 4:10 gears couple times already, I wouldn't wanna regear for that reason(lower=weaker). I still love'm. Unless you got an 8" diff I wouldn't recomend regearin' that either.

I thoroughly agree with your statement as well, I'm simply stating that people shouldn't post up 10-15 links that "they pulled up in a .0323 second search". Kinda rude. ;-)
