i bought a used dak.
it came w/aftermarket wheels and 31105015's on it.
the door was repainted and they painted over the sticker.
how can i tell what size tires came on the truck cuz theese just dont look right they stick out wider than the truck, i realize it may be the offset of the wheel, but they rub now i could only imagine how bad it would be with the proper offset

and site i can go to and run the vin to check

2wd or 4wd?

4wd's came with 31's in most cases. I have 32's on my stock 02 4wd and have VERY minor rubbing with wheels turned.

Matt e ;
The standard tire on Gen III Dakotas is 235/75 R15.On 15x7 rims.
Optional is 265/70 R16.On 16x8 rims.

That said ,I've 31x10.5 R15 tires on my 2001 4x4 QC and yes they are sticking out about 1/2 inch but they do not and should not rub in this tire size.

Hammerdak - you're listing sizes for diferent years. On many years when metric size 15s were standard, 31x10.5 15s on15x8 wheels were also offered and came with wheel flares.

Lead, follow, or get out of the way

Yeh, I thought 15x8 was also an option and new that different years had different options , but my info came from my 2001 Dakota brochure.
Maybe it's a Canadian thing.
Manufacturers do supply different packages up here than in the US on occasion.

97 to 2000 had the option of 31x10.5-15 on 15x8 rims with the tire handling package. They changed it to 16x8 in 2001 I think.
