I've got a '98 4x4 which I bought with the 235 Wrangler's on it. It didn't
take me long to realize that I should have sprung for the Wheel and Tire
Package, the 31" tires just look so much better.
So last week I went to Town Fair Tire (a huge discount tire chain in the RI,
Mass area. I sold them the stock 235's, which had 11,000 miles on them at
the time, for $50 each. I bought 31" BFGoodrich All-Terrain's and had them
slap 'em on. Not only do they look terrific, but they fit fine on the 7"
rims. I have not noticed any problems yet, but it's only been a week.
So to answer your question, any 31" tire should fit on the 7" rims fine. I
checked with Goodyear and BFGoodrich specifically, but it should be true
with all brands. 7" rims are the smallest on which you can install 31"
tires.
I also checked with my dealer about buying the stock 8" rims. $330 EACH!!!!
Holy %^&* ! So much for that option. There is not much out there in the 8"
rim dept. for Dak's. Few wheel companies (that I have found) have much to
choose from with the Dak's bolt circle and back-spacing in an 8" width. The
one's they do have, are, in my opinion, ugly.
So stick with the stock wheels, get the 31's, and have fun!
If you've got any more questions, you can mail me (cadex_3@ids.net).
