Wheel Fitment Question

[PFMFJ80]

I have a 91 80 series stock, with 31x10.5x15 tires on.

I came accross some rims I would like to purchase. These are 15x7.5" with a 3.5"backspacing.

My question is whether these will fit without spacers?

I believe these will poke out 1.5" more than the factory 15x7" with 4.5" backspacing, and I'm OK with that, since I feel the OE wheels are too tucked in.

Thanks im advance!

They'll fit. Just stick out a little more like you say. With 10.5" wide tire you'll be fine.

So you think they'll fit without spacers? Thanks for the reply!

With a 31x10.5, yes, it should be fine. But why the need for a spacer with a wheel that will already sit an inch further out. 24 more lug nuts to deal with when working on brakes/axles.

With a spacer (most common size is 1.5") you will be pushing your backspacing out to 2" with a 3.5" backspaced wheel. 1" further out then they are with the 4.5" wheels. If it was a wider wheel and tire combination it would be more bothersome.

Thanks. To clarify, I don't want to run spacers. I asked the question about spacers cause sometimes people say "they'll fit, but you will need spacers." I just wanted to make sure spacers would not be needed for these to fit. It seems that's the case. Thanks again!
