Will a 15x8 cragar + 31x10.5 with almost no tread work?

I know ill need new tires soon, but its a great buy and just wanted to know if this will work?

If this combo doesnt work.... will the rims work with different tires?????

PLEASE HELP....Thanks :)

stock height -no
even lifted may not due to backspacing since you did not list that
best is 15 or 16 X7 with 4 inch of backspacing or 5 inches which is closer to stock when lifted

Okay, thanks, i have read that there is moderate rubbing when flexing with this tire size with no lift.

What about with a lift?

any one else have any ideas/input???

Sagged suspension and
15 X 8 wheels with unknown back spacing and 31-10.50 there would be a ton of rubbing
anyone who said there would be minimal must only drive straight
:wink: :ROTFL:
Lifted again depending on back spacing, I have seen some 15 X8 with 3 inches of backspacing for sale locally and no way they would come close to working

What about this wheel size with a 2 inch lift?

What about stock height with a lot of trimming???

ill do either of those if it means sexy tires! :)

Again not knowing back spacing is all guessing.
But I would guess you'd need 3 inches at least to clear ( if the backspacing is somewhere around 4 to 5 inches) if its 3 or so then no way
Also not worth hacking up the inner fenders/ flares just to install tires and wheels won't look that sexy :ROTFL:
