Hi guys i know this has been probably done to death.. but.. I now have the 2in suspension lift dont 6.5 gears 2in extended shakles and rear auto locker to i want to go to 31s on a 15 x 7 rim. Its a 95 leaf spring wide track sierra. And the tyre shop are giving me the run around on what wheels i need. Off sets and stuff are doing my head in... |

The tyre shop won't know and will normally actively discourage you from fitting tyres that size. I don't work in offset, backspacing is much easier to relate to and far more useful. Broadly you'd be looking for as close to 0 offset as you can get. |

I think somewhere around -13 is fairly common? That would do just fine. Avoid the -44 nonsense. It's strictly Facebook spec. |

My procomp 15x7-38mm are hektic sick. I actually had 15x7-15 or something before that, and the difference to stability is noticeable. Wheel bearings still last ages. |

Your lift allows that offset with fewer clearance issues though. |

Personally, andrew, I'd pull the shackles off. They are doing the car no favours at all. |
