Is a 31x10.5 to large for a 15x7 stock rim?

[Fhalan]

I was told i would fit but not recomended, or should i go with a 15x8 rim? But the problem there lies in the offset, changing from the 7" - 8" Is this that big of a problem and if so how do i fix this?

It will fit quite nicely. Some tire dealers will balk at mounting them on a 15X7, but there are a whole bunch of people out there that are running them.

It's a perfect size. Hell, plenty of us run 32x11.50 on the 15x7 wheels, and a few have run 33x12.50 on them.

I noticed in a thread somwhere on here a mention of adjustin the torsion bar in the front to raise it level with the back, and to have the guys at a shop adjust it. I know this is on the forum somewhere but can not find it, i think offroadx metioned it but like i said i searched and could not find the post.

So i think i would be correct to think if doing so i need an alignmet? This wont be a be a problem because i need an alignmet anyways, which i plan on doing this weekend after replacing my tires.


Sorry i also didnt know which area to best place this question.

Yup, you would need an alignment. Any change to the front suspension almost always needs an alignment.

[Fhalan]

so you would recomend adjusting the torsion bar?

[skibum1111]

It's called the poor man's lift. Crank the torsion bars and change the rear shackles. Should gain around an inch in the back and front.

Tynan's Nissan where I go will always include a torsion bar adjustment(ride height) in my alignment price. That's been nice to have whenever I've made modifications to the front end our on a new set of tires. I'm always creeping up a size everytime I replace the tires.
