Does anyone know for sure if you can fit a 31x10.5 15 on a 7in rim. Someplaces are telling me you need a 7in others are saying 8in.
Anyone know for sure?

They will fit. 31 x 10.5 x 15in require a rim width between 7.0 and 9.0 inches.
Cheers

I have been looking into this recently myself, 31x10.5 R15 will fit on a 7" rim, it is the minimum size allowed, 8" is prefered, 9" is maximum.
If yours is a hilux SR5 though, keep in mind 31x10.5 R15 in most sizes does not have a suitable load rating, other hiluxes ok.

No problems (as far as I know). I have a 1997 Rodeo dual cab 2.6 litre.

Hero,
I have a SR5 Hilux. I found that the placard says that the axle must be able to support x kgs, or, the tyre must have an equilavent load rating of the original tyres (112). Meaning the load rating of each tyre must be equilavent of half of x. In short this meant that the lowest load rating tyre that can be fitted is a 100. Most 30x9.5R15s are at least 104, so they are fine. There are charts on the web that so what each load rating index corresponds to in kgs. Sorry I don't have a link.
It was Jimbo WA from this
forum that alerted me to this. It has also been mentioned by several other people on this
forum and other forums.
I run 31x10.5 on my Hilux, on 7 inch rims.

If you try running it on an 8 inch rim it would always roll off the rim as soon as you let it down.
31x10.5's came on 7inch rims standard on GQ Wide Wheel Packs..
Check the tire maker websites, they will always have a "recommended rims size"...
YMMV
