So, I had the guys at discount remount the tire so I could get some pics and it fit! I don't know what the other guy did wrong, but I'm not complaining. It is close to the strut, but it clears. Also no rubbing on full lock. Looks like the 31's will happen.

Unfortunately I can't lift the truck. Budget issues and the wife doesn't like it that high up. So tires are my only hope of getting any kind of lift. The issue I am running into is strut clearance. The 31x10.50 r15 is less than a quarter of an inch from the strut, so I need to push the tire out. I am just wondering if anyone has used wheel spacers in this kind of situation.

Title says it all really. I test fit a 31x10.50 r15 wheel today on my 98 SE and it was too close for comfort. Would of had rubbing at full lock as well as on the strut. They recommended new wheels, and quoted me about 300 for them. I don't think i need them. I was thinking i could go with some wheel spacers. They also said i could go down to a 30x9.50 r15 and it would be cheaper and it would fit fine. For reference i am going with the General Grabber AT2 tires. So a few questions: Should i go with 1" 1.5" or 2" spacers? Do i need to put them on all 4 tires or only on the front? Do i need to worry about any other parts wearing out faster because of them? Does anyone have a link to good ones? I am looking to get them cheap, but still need them to last. http://www.ebay.com/itm/2-6x5-5-Wheel-Spacer-Lug-6x139-7-1-5-Fits-Acura-Lexus-Nissan-Toyota-Landcruiser-/131334382133?hash=item1e9423a235 I was looking at these, they also come in 2" Thanks in advance for the help. This tire thing is a pain when you are going 3 inches larger than stock.
