Fuck no, you stupid?


Seriously though, I got 31" tires on my silverado and if I crank the wheel all the way to the left/right it starts rubbing the wheel housing.

if you got a body life you would be set. if you do the work it costs like 100 bucks.

word, im not sure of the cost but if you have a friend who is into cars they could do it. i would imagine a few hundred for labor. its real easy though. i helped my friend do it 2 of his cars and we had no clue going into it and it turned out great.

that one i do not know, im gonna guess not much bigger than stock though. usually they make the wheel wells for just a stock tire.

i have a 99 doge dakota sport 5.2 4x4 5 spd. and it has 31 1050s on in stock man. so yes they will fit fine as long as u have the 4x4 package that sits higher than the 2wd models. know its an old bump, but i like talking bout cars, trucks, vans, bikes, whatev, but ya 31 will fit fine, i can even post a pic of my stock dakota sitting on maxis big horn 31s ( studded ) ,
