I'm running stock 29" tires on my 15" rims and i wanted to see the difference by changing them to 31" tires, does any one have any pics? kind of a side by side...

I got a 99 Dakota extended cab 4x4.

thanks.

also why did some Dakotas come stock with 29" tires and some with 31" tires any reason?

 

it was an option,
i can get you the side by sides tomorrow, no sun out right now

 

It was just a option which I dont know why they didnt just have 31's that came with them. Most people that have daks(that i know) they all came with 31's

 

now the 31" tires that came on the Dakota from the factory were 31x10.5xr15?

 

thats correct

 

so running the 31" tires on a 15" rim wont look stupid then....lol
just wanted to make sure, because i know some have 16" rims too.

with he 31" tire being 10.5" wide and the stock 29" tire being 9.25", will i have to run any spacers so they wont rub while at full turn, or should i have enough room under there?

 

There's plenty of room for them. I've got 31x10.5x15 on stock rims and they're really not even close to rubbing.

 

here, 2 of them are 31x10.5s the other are 30x9.5s
