Cant decide on tire size

[jp_waltz]

I have searched and searched again, looking at the registry as well as through posts. I just bought an 88 62 and I am going to do an MAF AAL because I will wheel very little and I just like the look of it sitting a little higher then stock. I am new to understanding the lifts for the 60-62 series so please excuse my lack of knowledge on this subject. I am just trying to get an idea of what a 62 looks like with 32x11.5x15 BFG AT's on it. Its either those or 31x10.5x15 BFG AT's. If there is any thoughts, advice or even better, pics that would be very nice.
Thanks for your help,
Paul

Rim width will play a huge part in how they look. I have 31 x 10.50s on 8.5" rims and they look a lot fatter than Spook50's 31x10.50s on the stock rims. He also has the full length AAL.

EDIT:
FWIW, I would stick with the 31x10.5s. They behave well on the road and for most situations off road. Sure, you won't be able to go to the deepest part of the puddle to play or climb the tallest rocks, but you can still explore the countryside plenty well.

32x11.5 are a little too wide for my tastes and possibly a little too wide for a stock 60 rim (altho some run 33x12.5 on stockers). 33x10.5 are a pretty generic tire and size for 60's here. I run them in BFG a/t's. If you are putting in MAF AAL's, I think you should have more than enough room for 33x10.5 or 33x9.5. I ran my 33x10.5's with stock suspension for a while and they fit great, no rubbing on or off road. Had 31x10.5's for only about 15k before i switched them out for 33's

The only downside is the gearing will be off more with 33's, although it hasn't big that big of a deal for me. 3fe is pretty slow anyways no matter what tires you run.

BUT, If I wasn't EVER planning on lifting it anymore than what the AAL's give, I maybe could be convinced to stick with 31's

Are those 15x10 or 15x8 rims?

Here is when I had 32x11.5's on 15x8 rims with 4" BS. I just sold the tires and wheels.

Which way? You can't leave us hanging.

31x10.5 on 15x8 rims. No lift. I've added a small shackle lift and now it looks great (I'll have to take some pics of the difference).

sorry, Im going with........ 31x10.5x15 bfg at. I was leaning that way anyway. I will put them on eagle 058 I think is what they are or MT classic II's. I really like the look of that style wheel/tire combo. I will post pics when I get them. As for now she's sitting in the garage with the head off waiting for me to get off my booty and get her on the road.

They look like rollerskate wheels on a 60 . Get the 33x10.5 or 33x 9.5 BFG
