31 x 12.5 15's will fit just fine. They will rub if you come down a little hard because they still have the factory bump stop but otherwise you shouldbe good. If the bumpstop is a concern then take a look at what energy suspension has to offer for universal bump stops that you can cut to fit.

Keep in mind there's always a lil friend I like to call a cutoff wheel for some trimming if you want to have no rubbing at all, just a suggestion!!

True true, though the spot it rubs is more the fender lip then the inner fender so i guess if ya trimmed it and cleaned it up well that would work.

thanks guys got the darn eye bolts out with a nice drill and ghetto technique. didnt have to buy new bushings, had some left over from lifting my buddies jeep. they fit just fine. looks good have to wait till its light out to take some pics. also setup some quick disconnects for the rear sway bar.

P.S. RCars2 what did you do to mount your tire behind the back glass that looks really sweet.

In short, i got creative. I have a write up for it at home that I'm just about finished with so I'll post it here in the near future so look for that and it will cover just about the whole process.
