im debating on going with 32" or 31" tires. cant decide. i wanna go bigger but with the way gas is im thinking stay smaller if it looks good. Anyone have pics of either on their truck? And will they work on a 15x5.5 rim???

Not every tire that is 32" in diameter is 11.5" wide...I run 265/75R16 which works out to about 32x10.5". I can make them rub at full lock if I hit a huge bump wheeling...but higher offset wheels would fix that for me easily.

And where are you getting a rim that's only 5.5" wide? I thought stock Z85 rims were 6.5" wide and stock Z71 rims 7" wide. A 10.5" wide tire will sit on a 6.5" rim but I think optimal width is higher than that...5.5" might be pushing it unless you go with a smaller narrower tire. These are 265/75R16 on an 8.5" wide wheel.

265/70/17's rub at full lock. i could use a little more lift to clear them a little better, but im only runnin 2".

i dont think i saw what kind of truck you have as far as suspension. nor did i see a lift setup listed. those will help us determine if a 32 or a 31 will work better on your truck.

i had 32's on my truck but they were to small for my setup. maxed TB's skyjacker 2.5 aal and a 3" body lift totalin 7" of lift.

so on a crank and shackels 32x11.50x15 on a 15x8 rim would be ideal.
