Tires, Lift / Again Sorry

[jud]

I am in need of advice, my cruiser needs tires now! It has stock suspension that is not bad, but i dont have time to put a 3" lift for a couple of months, i don't plan on wheeling it until i get my lift on the new tires. My question to everyone is if i go with a smaller tire 31, will it look funny once i put the lift on, what is the biggest tire i can safely put on, until i have time for the lift?
Sorry for beating this issue again

32 X 11.50 is a good tire size for on/off road and should work as long as you don't wheel it too hard. Avail in MTRs and BFG ATs.

I ran 31's for a year w/my 3" lift and while it looked better with the lift than w/out, the 31's looked too small to me. (Same situation as yours - needed tires before I had the time and money to do the lift.) I think 32X11.50's look good on both stock and lifted, though it seems like they should be a bit too wide for stock 6" wide wheels. One option is to run 33X9.50, which work on both stock and lifted trucks. Some like the look, some don't. I use them because they fit on stock rims, and work great in rain/ice/snow. That said, I think wider looks better. There are lots of posts on tires, and nearly as many opinions as there are options.

33X9.5 bfg at ko's

they look great on a stock rig and the tuck in and under just fine when wheeling... i have them on a 60 and a 62...

landpimp and others swear by them... they give the truck a bit of a retro look...

I'm using 50mm (2.5") lifted springs and I just bought a set of 31" mudders.

Sure, I deliberated between looks and drivability.
But since these mud tires are fairly true to size, heavier than all terrains, and that I have 3.7 gears, I chose drivability over looks. Yet, in the end, I'm satisfied with the looks too. The mud tires have over the shoulder lugs and rim protectors that give 'em a more aggressive look.

Just my personal opinion. I think 31" are at the edge of the envelope for my kind of driving, without a gearing change or more powerful motor.
If you've got a 62 with 4.1 gears otoh, you'll be fine.

33 10.50 15 will fit on stock rim with no lift, just don't wheel it before getting your lift or you may have some rubbing
