Picked myself up some 31's with a 17" rim tonight for $500. I actually posted to sell them here for my buddy, but I offered him $500 and he went for it. The total package for all 5 is like $2500 brand new, so I def got a good deal.

Couldn't get em mounted tonight. I put the tires on the rim and went to balance it, but the shop on base I went to was outta weights...dammit. By the time I got done everything off-base was closed. Oh well. Tomorrow it is!

Think I'll need a leveling kit? Everyone is saying I will, but I know some guys on here said 31's fit just barely without it.

 

nice what kind of tire?

 

255/75R17 31" BF Goodrich Mud-Terrain T/A KM

Oh and it's supposed to rain pretty good this weekend. Might get to test these badboys out!

 

Those look good! They may fit without the leveling kit, M/T's have a more aggressive tread though so they might rub. My A/T's are 31.8" diameter if I remember right and with the TM kit they rub a little at the right angle.

 

Thanks man! I'm real happy with them. And instead of paying $130 for wheels on, valve stem and balance, so far I've only payed 17.50 and done it myself. Still need to buy the weights for the balance, but will only be another 17.50 if i do that myself as well (shop charges 3.50 apiece).

 

They look like they will be right at home on the dakota. Nice looking.

 

I know I posted about wheel adapters on a new thread...but yea. Now I gotta save up and buy them..I cursed quite a bit when they didn't fit. I really want to put these on...sigh.

At least with the adapters they'll stick out a little on the sides of the truck and look beastly.
