Answer
Cody,

According to Tire guides, your vehicle came with a variety of tire sizes, but it looks like they all came with a 7" wheel, which is fine for a 31X10.50R15LT.

However, what the book doesn't tell me is how much room there is in the fenderwell, and do not know of a book that will tell me that info for the wide variety of vehicles that are out there.  But, I know from experience that these types of vehicles came in different ride heights and that greatly affects the amount of room.  So without a trial fit, it is diificult to have any degree of certainty.

I would suggest you find a web site or an on line club that specializes in your vehicle.  I am certain they can give you a real good idea of what works and what doesn't.

Hope this helps.
