hahah I won't, cheers for that :)

Right turns out the idiots at 4x4tyres.co.uk managed to send me 3 15x8 pepperpots and 1 15x7 8 spoke!
very clever! The guy was very apologetic but now I have to wait til friday for the other one!
Still I couldn't wait and have test fitted 3 of them... but its a bit too dark for a pic now!

This is one I got first off... my 235 spare (about 90% tread remaining) against the new 31s

hahah yes it will!

they fit at the back really well with the 3" lift, but the front is a bit tight with just 2"!!!

the truck will look better with the front and the back at the same height anyway haha
