That's what I thought, but I just wanted to clarify what he meant by "I
know that a 31 will fit..." Thought maybe he'd been able to make it work
himself.

Well, they're supposed to be 31x9.50, and they're much *less* than 9.5"
wide. At least on the 6" wide rims I'm using. The height appeared to be
approximately the same as the stock 31x10.50 when we had them mounted on
our '98 (in other words I couldn't tell any difference by looking).

The tires are locked up in the storage shed. I should be able to get out
there on the weekend. I've also got a side-by-side comparison picture
with a 235/75R15 tire. I could post that tonight if you'd be interested
to see it.

Stock, although the front end seems to sit higher than other '95s I've
seen. My theory is because it's so light (V6 5-speed with no A/C) that
the torsion bars haven't settled as much over time. That, or the previous
owner cranked them up a bit.
