Message:
The year of my truck is a 87 dakota 4x4 if that helps any.

I have a few questions. I have the chance to get a nice set of 31s with very few miles on them for 150 bucks. Problem is there on monte carlo rims. (was on a 4x4 S 10) Obviously wouldnt fit the lug pattern. For space on the rear theres plenty of room. But up front im pretty sure id have some tire rubbing when turning tightly. I am wondering wat i can do to raise up the front of my truck so this wont occur. Or i should be ok and it wont rub at all? The other question is does anyone know any cheap rim sites that achually make such as 15x10 inch wide rims for a 87 dakota. I have had no luck mabe im just not lookin hard enough.

adjust the torsion bars up,

a 8x15 will be enough,unless the tires are 12.50s then you,ll need a wider wheel,

i had 31x9.50x15s on a 88 dak 4x4,

make sure you get the proper back spacing on the wheels or you,ll have front wheel bearing problems,

try pep boys etc

back spacing is the distance from the backside of wheel,s [most outer part]to the wheel,s center[where it bolts to the hub/rotor]most likely 3"-4"

it cost you $000

when you buy wheels just tell them you want x amount of backspacing
