To much tire?

3 Attachment(s)

Do you think this looks good? I took my driver side 31/10.5 r15 off the back and put it up front. I had a 235/70r15 up front but don't like all the room above the tire.
This fills it up a bit and maybe I won't have the itch to lower it now.
The last pic is with the small tire.

Re: To much tire?

I think it fills that wheel well up better and looks fine. As long as it's not rubbing over bumps or at full lock, it should function as well!

Looks good. Lots of sidewall = better ride.

Looks great! Now lower it on that tire and it’ll look even better :)

I think it looks just fine.

I have 30/9.5/15's with stock ride height, 3.08 rear gears and a Turbo 350.

Great highway cruising combo.

As a friend once said: "It's a truck, use it like one or get a car!"

If it's OK with the original poster, put up some pics of your truck with 31's. That would be helpful for those of us trying to decide between 30's and 31's.

Just out of curiosity, how wide are your rims?
15x8 front and back

That the same as mine. I'm kinda wanting to go to 3.42s but I have a 60 mile round trip to work and I drive my c10 a few days a week to work. I don't want to kill my mileage. I do think it would be nice to have a lower gear though.

Re: To much tire?

I just got a set of 15x8 chrome wagon wheels and a set of Goodyear wrangle 31x10.5x15, this gives me hope that they’ll fit on my c15 GMC wig worn stock springs, worried about rubbing in the front, what do you think?
