Mitch-
I've got 31's on my 95. I like them. They'll fit on the 15x6.
They're not going to be as wide though as someone with a 15x8. It's
not a big deal though--I actually think it's better because it opens
the tread on the tire a little more (since the tire is slightly
humped up--instead of flat). The wider tires do look a little
better, but performance wise, there's not much advantage--just to
sling mud all over the truck. The one disadvantage I've found---if
you have an auto---you'll notice a strain when it hits overdrive at
about 50mph--it drops down to about 1300rpms, and takes a while to
recover. I can get 18--20mpg straight highway though. 16-17mpg
highway/city.

I'd really like to go with the 31x10.5 but not sure if it will fit.
What
about ride, mpg, performance? Any info would be greatly appreciated.
