I was just so excited at this late night deal I had to post up, I just bought a set of 31 inch Michelin X Radial LT''s 10.5 wide off a girl on craigslist for 150$.
I''ll get them mounted this weekend and post pictures. Yes, stock suspension here and no lift, and after evulating all the threads here, I was going to buy a new set of 30 BFG A/T''s but a friend found the 31s and talked me into it. And some of you say it will rub and a few of you say no problem. So I guess I''ll find out for myself this Saturday. Either way, they are brand freaking new and 150 is cheaper than 575 for 4 new ones.
hey, I''m froogle with my money.

Great find. I''m jealous.  If you haven''t read this its a good one about tire sizes. Basically you need about 2" of lift to properly clear 31" tires. 2" shackles are cheap, or an add-a-leaf can be had for under $100. And you could probably get close to 2" with a t-bar crank. With the money you saved it should be easy to clear those nice new shoes.

Yea I read that thread thoroughly. And there are still a few people in it, who say you don''''t need a lift to fit 31s. I guess I will find out today. I''m leaving in about 15 to go get them mounted. If they rub, well then......

... and they fit ...... only if I drive my car in a straight line and never plan on turning.
So, they don''t fit. So, 2inchs? Although the guys at Pungo Off-Road seemed to think I need 3inchs of clearance.
