hey im lookin to buy rock crawlers
these to be exact...

http://www.4wheelparts.com/4wp/produ...HEELS&man=TECH

i need help figuring out the tire size i need. im looking for 31"s, but what is the exact size i need?

Localmotion

link says its empty

31x10.50?

Chapman88SR5

fixed. 31x10.50? what would the 3 numbers be?

Localmotion

3 numbers?

are u going to be going for a 16"rim?

265/70/16 is close to a 31".

are you looking for backspacing? Lug pattern?

if your are looking for 3 winning lotto numbers, im not telling!

Chapman88SR5

i know nothing how how tires are sized.
im getting a 15" rim. if im getting a 15x10 rim then i look for a **x10 tire size?

Localmotion

10 is how wide the rim is. my rim is 16x8. I think a 10" wide rim is too much

man...please be more specific as to what the hell you are asking for.

Is your junk lifted? What is ur junk??

Chapman88SR5

no its just a stock 1988 4runner. you would recomend a 8" rim over a 10" rim?

Localmotion

you could even do a 15x7 rim...like the stockers are. all depends on what u use your truck for

Chapman88SR5

well the rockcrawlers only come in 15x8, atleast thats all i can find. so say im getting those, 15x8 rim. will a 31x10.5 tire fit?

Localmotion

yes sir

Chapman88SR5

awesome. thank you for being patient and answering all my questions. one more question. im looking at kumho road venture mts on tirerack.com. it asks if i want studding for $15 each. whats this?

Localmotion

studding? I think it means do you want spikes sticking out of your tires

I wouldnt want them. They are great for ice and snow...IIRC.

Chapman88SR5

nah, not worth the money. alright im about to place my order. give me an opinion. i drive mostly on road, offroad a little on weekends, mostly just mud.

15x8 rockcrawlers
31x10.5 kumho mts (the ones listed above)

total price with shipping is $683.64.

sound good to you? price and everything?

Localmotion

dont get the MTs.

Get some nitto terragrapplers from www.discounttiredirect.com

Localmotion

P.S. erase this thread and just Pm me if u have more questions..LOL

Chapman88SR5

they dont have the right size

Localmotion

go with these then

Do you really want an MT for daily use? They will wear faster

Those tires listed above are supposed to be good. Do a search on them and you will see some reviews

Plese dont listen to everything I type. Make sure you get what you want.

Chapman88SR5

oh trust me, you have helped beyond belief, i think im going to go with the m/ts though. they are cheaper and i plan on goin to badlands a couple times. thanks a lot i really appriciate it!

The tire/rim combo you are asking about will work great, as Localmotion says. Studs are awesome in ice/snow, but illegal in most states when it is not the winter season. They tear up pavement. Some tires come with small holes you can screw studs into for better traction on ice/snow, and you can unscrew the studs individually for off-seasons. I would not pay $60 for them to screw the studs in for you. If you decide you could use them in the future, just buy a set and install them yourself. You will most likely be fine without.
