Will 31x10.50x15 tires fit on a 2000 year model ford explorer?

The 2000 Ford Explorer does not have a stock rim size of 15 inches. If the vehicle currently has 15-inch rims, they have been changed after the vehicle left the factory. The original rim size would have been 16 inches.

The stock size for a 15-inch rim is 235/75 R15, which has an overall width of 9.25 inches.

The tire you have chosen is 31x10.50 R15, which has an overall width of 10.50 inches.

Based on the measurements, the tire will be wider by around 1.25 inches than the original tire size, which could potentially cause rubbing against the wheel well or suspension components.

While the tire may technically fit, it is not recommended to deviate significantly from the original size as it can affect handling, speedometer calibration, and may even void your vehicle's warranty (if still applicable).

Consult with a qualified mechanic or tire specialist before making any modifications to ensure that the chosen tire size will not compromise the safety or performance of your vehicle.
