Tire Advice?

I know that in an earler post I said that I was 100% decided on going with the BF-G Mud Terrian;s but I later found the Cavalier Mud Kings. Ever heard of them? Here is the place I'm thinking about getting them from: eTires.com I know these will fit http://www.etires.com/tireSpec.jsp?specID=2322 but will these? http://www.etires.com/tireSpec.jsp?specID=2327

Thanks in advance

Blaze

well i don't know what size tires you have on it now . you got more then enough room for the 31's. , the 32's overall size is 31.5 so measure . lets say 16" for good measure from your center of the axle and see where it is . that will tell ya if they will fit or not

I don't know what (if any) suspension mods. to your truck you have now, I'm assuming it's a 4x4, but without any lift or any leveling kit, 32's will be a tight fit. They will look fairly "stuffed", especially if your suspension is tired and starting to sag a little. If you plan on going with 32's, I would recommend a leveling kit. That will raise your front end up 1.5-2", and give you better clearance for the tires, as well as improving the overall look and ride height of your truck. If you've already done this, or the like, then you'll clear 32's without a sweat. I put 33's on my truck with nothing more than a leveling kit, but that was pushing it, so I decided to lift my truck. So stick with 32's, or maybe even 31's of the front of your truck sits kinda low and you don't want to mess with new coils up front. I've had 31's, experimented with 32's and 33's and I now have 35's (with a 4" lift) so I've been there, done that.

Yeah, I think you'll be alright running 32's no problem, i've got a set of those exact tires 31's on my 93 F150 right now and they've got plenty of room. I'm loooking for a set of 32's myself. Good choice, i like the tires, the're almost just like bfg mud terrain's and they really rock in the mud. Good luck to ya.

Check tire clearence at the radius arms with the wheel turned all the wAY. mY 31s come pretty close.
