The tire is 31x10.5R15 Federal Couragia MT. Does anyone know what rim that is? I want them.

Looks like the american racing baja rims painted black.

It looks like it has a Mickey Thompson cap, so i would say the Mickey Thompson Classic. Although that one, the ^Baja, and the American Eagle 589s are all very similar.

I love the way they look, I'm gonna have to get me some :) For that size tire, what size rim should I get? I found a few that are 8" wide, and another that is 10" wide.

That rim is a limited edition Mickey Thompson Classic II w/ powder coated satin black see a quick article here: Four Wheeler (http://www.fourwheeler.com/departments/products/129_0912_december_2009_new_products_4x4_truck_acce ssories_parts/index.html)

An 8" wheel will be perfect for a 10.50" tire.

Great, thanks for the heads up everyone. I found a set of Crager Soft 8 Wheels. One site is saying they aren't compatible:

Whereas another site says they are.

If these are in fact compatible, I will purchase these. Can anyone advise for certain whether or not these would fit? They have a 4" backspacing. I believe they will, I simply want to make 100% sure before I purchase.

Soft 8s are compatible, but not as nice as looking as the Mickeys. Personally I like the Mickeys better and will probably get a set when I upgrade.

Soft 8's are a steel wheel, so they will look similar to the mickeys but as the mickeys are alloys they won't be identical. Just making sure you knew that as wheels are a big purchase.

The 4" backspacing should be good, i run 3 3/4" no problem. What size lift are you running?

Thanks for the heads up. I will be running a 3" Rough Country lift with these, with the new rear springs option. I am aware they are made of a different material, however I am just looking for that style rim in black, for cheap. As nice as the MTs are, I'd rather save myself a few bucks and go with the Cragers. I appreciate the input on whether they would fit or not.

those mickeys are teflon coated... VERY expensive however you can find other brands with teflon but still pretty pricey... what you need to have is a 5on 4.5 bolt pattern, you SHOUD get a 15 inch wheel and best to stick with a 10 wide... youll want
33's soon lol

33x12.50's work great on a 8" rim too

10" lets the tire spread out more and gives you more contact to the surface. Some say it'll break a bead easier but I'm not sure about that.

10" will also cause the tire to stick out the sides a little more. Personally I like the look of it.

If you want steel wheels take a look at the Jegs model. Looks just like a soft 8 and is only $45 each

soft 8's are the way to go (my opinion) or D windows and i really like the look of the 10"
