My buddy has a 02 ECSB 4x4 ( leveled with ford keys ) and he needs new tires but doesnt want to change his rims due to 1 he likes his stock ones and 2( and more importantly ) money. since these are wider than ur standard 31s would they be ok on the 16x7 ( also would the 5"bs cause a problem?)
Needs the wide tires as it goes to the sand dunes often.

he is getting 315/60s or somethign?

I got 305/70/16s on stock wheels, stock height, no problems at all

i guess that would be the size, there actually spec at 31x12.5x16

i'm runnning a 33x12x16 if you want to look at metric

they will work but are not recommended. really you need a 8 inch wide rims to make up the difference, you will also get a bald spot in the middle and with the ssr they wear very uneven needs to have them rotated every 5-7000 miles or they will get funky on you. I had them on my 97 z71

I have 35x12.50's on stock rims. 16x8's would be nice but stock rims will work until he has the money to get them.

I had 33x12.50 SSR's on my stock wheels and becuase they are such a soft compound tire, they wore VERY badly down the middle. With a 31 inch tire it would probably be even worse. I only got about 10K miles out of those tires for that reason. I would not suggest it based on my " been there done that". He could probably find a harder compound tire like BFG's that would probably work better.

thats wired cuz i have 35x14.5x16.5s ony my K5 with about 12k miles and they still look new

What width rim do you have? The rim width is what makes the difference not the truck model. I would guess you probably have 10 inch wide wheels or wider.
