jegs, summit racing.....

 

Those would be your best bet.

 

But you won't find any 15x6 to my knowledge, so best get a bl and sl then go with 15x10 or 15x8 and 33's :D

 

 

I was going to go with 15x8 4 w/32's

 

looking for it to be aggressive but some what streetable

Im pretty sure im not mistaken, but you will probably need a lift with 32's

 

After my ongoing experience with a body lift, and your mention of rust in your sig, i highly suggest a SL vs a BL if you choose one over the other......

 

 

The tire diameter doesn't matter as much as the width, a 31x10.5x15 needs a 7 inch wide rim, so I think you could run up to a 11.50 wide tire with that diameter and 15x8's..

 

You should also aim for either 4" or 3.75" backspacing :-)

 

and don't forget, 6x5.5 bolt pattern!

 

15x8's shouldn't cost you any more than 40 bucks per wheel :D

 

If your looking for aggressive and streetable, I'd go with a bfg series tire, either the MT or the AT.......depending on HOW streetable, and how much money you want to spend, both of these tires are well spoken for.

I sold the rustfinder but I'm looking for another in better condition, I had a set of 31 inch bfgs on my 87 and it seemed like I could fit some 32's...check out my pics in the noob section

32s will definitely fit on the stock chrome 15x6 rims. Most won't recommend it, but when you air down a narrow rim will hold the bead better. I only had to trim a little off of the front corner of the front fender flare. The only rubbing was at full lock on the side of the PS box. Definitely not a big deal especially since you can adjust the stops to prevent that rubbing. If you are going to lift I would suggest picking up the 15x8 steelies from Summit. They have good prices and shipping is cheap too. If you have a Discount Tire shop near you they will match online prices.

I agree, most won't recommend it... :D

 

I had 31x10.5" on the 6" rims and they were pinched; no way would I put 32x11.5" tires on them!!

My old Pathy had the stock chrome wheels with 32" BFG A/Ts. That's the way I bought her and I never bothered to buy new rims. I never had a problem with the bead or tread wear. I can't believe that Wal-Mart mounted them for the PO in the first place.

do you think walmart would mount a 33x1250 on an 8" wide? ive always wondered, rec'd width is 8.5-10

They did for me. On my other Pathfinder they mounted 33x12.5" BFGs on 15x8 black steelies with a 4" offset. That was a pretty nice combo. That truck had BL and SL and it still needed trimming in the front though. A sawzall will make quick work of the front corner of the front fender.

I'm picking up a set of these 15x8 -24 offset:

Shorn with a set 31x10.5 maxxis bighorns on tuesday. I wouldn't go any bigger as my worn AT's at full lock leave little clearance. It'll also be interesting to see if i get any rubbing with the extra offset as the current works alloys are a -10 and again at full articulation, leave little clearance. though they're a 7" rim, so there shouldn't be too much difference.

 

Except the truck will look more badass and be more fun in the mud. :D
