Default 15x10 wheels and 31x10.50's

ive searched this sight and found a good thread about this but i never read an answer and my phone wouldnt load the pics on the last page. my 96 4x4 sits factory height at the moment with the factory alcoas and 31x10.50 15 tires. i bought a set of 15x10 imitation bead locks at a good price. i intend to buy the leveling springs from bds and run a 33x12.50. until then, can i swap my 31s to these wheels and run them at stock susp. height?

They'll fit. They won't bow as much as you think.

My 33 inch 12.5 TSL super swampers fit fine on on my cragar 15x10 wheels, mine rub on the control arms at full lock, but it's no problem, plus it's just the corners of the ***** on the tires that rub. You might have to trim the inside lip of your bumper a little, but it's no big deal.
