i think the problem might be the 15x10 wheel and 30x11.5 tire. most 30" tires are 30x9.5...also i was under the impression thatits possible to fit 31's with just a body lift... 29's would have fit w/o any lift.

Do you happen to know the backspacing on your wheels?

Yeah, with the lift you have you should be able to fit 31x10.5 tires probably even 32x11.5 tires. The other problem might lie in your running boards if you were going with the 31-32" tires.

the wheel looks to be about 4" wider than the truck so they are probably fairly close to oem backspacing. i could be wrong

i dont know the backspacing of the rims but with the 30x11.50 tires i would have to have alot of metal which sucks because looking at the lift you would think it would clear. ill put on the 29x10.50 and see how that works. i know for sure that if i run the 15x8s i could fit a bigger tire than the 29s but i like the deeper look of the 10s.

well i guess it all depends on if you like the look of bigger tires, or the look of deeper wheels

sucks that you cant have both with our type of trucks. if i could lift it higher to fit both trust me at this point i would. but theres not that much companies that make lift products for our trucks. i know i could get at least 2" more out of my truck by buying a 2" lift coil and shackles but if its not going to make a difference why bother right. dont wanna do that if i still cant fit the 15x10s.

its unfair how much easier it is to lift a 2wd than a 4wd....the coils/shackles might allow you to fit the 15x10 wheels
