Default looking for rims and tires.

I am looking for some rims and tires, and I need to know what the biggest size tire I can fit on my truck. 31's will fit right?

and what rim backspacing and bolt pattern do I need.

So, what is everyone liking for M/T's I was looking at the procomp tires and I like that price quite a bit, and I read in 4 wheel that they are more like an aggressive A/T and do well on the street, but Im not a fan of the crap on the sidewalls.

anyone have any suggestions for rims ontop of that? I am thinking about a 16x8 mickey tompson clasic II or something simmilar, but would a 16x10 rim fit on my truck?

thanks everyone, now learn me.

You will more than likely experience rubbing with the 10" wide wheels, but for the size of the tires IDK.

the tires would be 31.6". did i read elsewhere that you have your torsion bars cranked? if so you could probably fit a narrow 33" but don't know for sure.

I would rather have 31's and b able to wheel it a bit than have 33's and have a hard time with bumps and what not.

and yes, my bars are cranked.
