I am looking for new wheels too to fit in with the lift tire combo..
The wheels I want only come in a 16x8. or 15x8.
If I were to just stick with 31 10.50's could I get away with the 16x8?
Also what would be a good back spacing? I want a little wider stance, but again, I dont want to get pulled over for them sticking out. So thats what the bw flairs are for.

The tire and rim size is really just a preference. A 31x10.50x15 tire on a 15x8 wheel will work just fine.

I assume they make a Duratrac in a 17... I'm sure they do.
All will be well.

not much difference in options between a 15'' and 16'' rim. both are very popular. i think 16'' has more options but not alot more. your looking about a $50 per tire price increase also with the 16''. thats why i went back down to a 15''.

I don't mind doing a little more trimming, but I dont want it to look like a hick truck.
It's built/driven by a hick... Still stand by your statement?

He probably does. You don't need to get defensive just cause he doesn't like a mod that we like, or because he uses colloquial words differently than you.

As for him not liking a mod or anything like that, to each their own it's his jeep let him do what he wants. I never bag on anyone that builds their jeep in a way I wouldn't if it's their rig it's their choice. His choice of words just irked me a bit.

People around here look at me once and assume I'm trashy because of who I am, I take serious offense when people use the term hick in a negative manner. Just because I don't dress like a hipster or a preppy little douche I'm trashy? Not ok. I do the job no one else is willing to do, the jobs those people need to have done living their cushy little lives and I get a negative name because of it.
