Newb Tire Question - Stock R50

Okay so we might be looking at a stock 1997 R50 tonight as a winter driver. Only thing I know at this point is it needs tires, so the newb (to R50) question comes out, "What is the biggest tire I can fit under a stock R50?"

Realistically I only want to fit a 31x10.5R15 and I think that is possible, and was confirmed in a Google search.

Any input...on topic input...is welcome.

Looks like it's possible: http://npora.ipbhost.com/index.php?showtopic=19867&st=0" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I dare you to join NPORA and ask, they love that question. :D

I even tried a search here before asking. There are so many hits for tire that it omits the word.

Scanned the thread, it looks like it's possible. Might have to trim a little rust off.

....and now you have me looking at 2" AC coil kits and 3.75" backspacing wheels.

Probably already got your answer, but I've got 31x10.5x15 Wrangler Territories on mine, stock.

If you're looking for a good 31" tire for winter use, the Goodyear Wrangler Territory (CT only) and the good year wrangler Dura-trac are excellent tires.

FWIW stock X tires just fit on our R50, I think they are close to 31s...
