[QUOTE="machoheadgames, post: 427400, member: 18789"] Yeah I'm aware, been driving the 31's for a long time now, just sorta tired of them and I've now set up my suspension and such for 33's that I don't want to undo that to keep the 31's (I have a tuck so I'm not removing the BL, and definitely not redoing suspension again. It does look decent as is, but I think 33's will fit the height a bit better). I don't think 33x10.5 will provide any poor road characteristics compared to 31x10.5, since they should pretty much drive about the same (considering gearing and brakes are up to par, which they will be). I think the 15x7 wheels bringing my stance inward a bit will be good overall for unit bearing/ball joint stress, as well as tire scrub. Really the only thing I can think of that keeping 31's would change, is the look and the gear ratio to 4.56 instead of 4.88. Mainly what i was trying to avoid are the lesser handling effects of 12.5" wide tires, and 35's (clearance, stress, etc.). Combine those together and it's just a huge tire that really makes no sense for me. [/QUOTE]
