I know the answer is here if I look hard enough but I cant find it. I have a 93 with stock 31*10.5*15 tires and need to know if my Rodeo will accept a set of 32*11.5*15 tires without issue and is the 6 bolt pattern I have a standard GM version.
Thanks for any help

The tires? Possibly, I ran a set of 32" (LT265/75 R16's) on 16x8 wheels with a +25 offset without any issue on stock suspension. If those tires are the equivalence of 285/75 16's, then you'll need to trim and lift the truck, IIRC.

However, I've got to inform you, if you live in ANY kind of mountainous terrain and/or drive an automatic, I would not choose to go any bigger then 32" tires, any bigger and your simply asking to much of that drivetrain. And keep in mind, you have less ponies then I, 175hp versus 190 - not much, but I got to tell you, my '91 Rodeo V6 automatic had 140hp and it came stock with the 31x10.5, as it aged it got real tired of lugging those 31's up the I-70 Corridor.

I would've never fathomed going bigger on the '91 Rodeo, in fact there were times, specially towing the boat, that I wanted to put 29" tires on it; on my '97 Rodeo V6 it came with 29" from the factory, the perfect match for it is 31's - couldn't stand the super skinny's it came with - 32's are ok, but when you're loaded down with passangers and gear for a weekend trip, it takes too much out of it.
