The Drift

Would a 30 or 31 render my 235/70/15 spare completely useless? My guess is yeah.

Really? So you think I could even go to a 31x10.5? I'd be worried if I turned hard or anything. I figured having the dsidewall tapered that much would totally mess up the handling of my truck. I guess It's a good thing I asked. Anyone else able to say about the same as Redpath88?

So I know the tire question is extremely redundant, but I have gotten a different answer from EVERYONE I know. I figure my best bet is to ask fellow pathy owners. I have these stock rims (just in chrome) Those rims as some of you know are 15x7in. I can't afford new rims right now, and I am stock on suspension. My rig is a 97 SE...I think b/c the registration says XE/SE/LE. If I go with a 30x9.5x15 hos drasitcally will this screw with my daily highway/city driving? I'm thinking that being 2 inches wider than my rim is pretty insane, but I don't know. From an offroad perspective I'm sure it's an awesome setup, but daily driven, will I encounter major problems? And Will I more than obviously have to upgrade my spare as well? Am I better off with a 265/70/15? Thoughts? Any feedback is appreciated, I've always been a sports car guy.

Well about 2 months ago I was looking for a new daily driver. I've always been a sports car guy. It was between an 89 Civic with a B16A1 swap, al ready for the road course, and a 97 Pathy. Somehow....the pathy won. My first mission was to convince friends and family that it was NOT an SUV but a TRUCK. I hate SUV's lol. I did this by driving it through every ounce of mud I found (which is hard in the burbs of Chicago) and challenging them to do it with their "SUV" For now, it's stock. I am adding new tires next week. Either BFG All Terrain ( I drive 60 hwy miles a day at least) or Bridgestone Dueler A/T Revo's. I hope to have the brush guard on the way next week. I want a whole bumper, but just don't have the money right now. I hope to lift it 2 inches ASAP, with lockers. Pretty much over the course of the year make this thing the perfect blend of daily driven comfort and able to hange with the big boys on the trail. My buddies all have ridiculous "show" off road trucks that I can park my pathy under. I'm looking forward to taking my lil truck and pulling THEM out of the mud. I hope to learn some stuff here, as this is my first TRUCK lol.
