calm down tim, he is asking about the width difference, as long as the rim size is the same, then it will work just fine, even with only a quarter inch overlap, the tires may be difficult to set the bead on, and the bead may break if beat on rocks or trees, but for normal driving, bogging and trailrunning you will be fine

I had the exact tire and rim combo on a Toyota 4x4 years ago (1993 or 4). Only problem was when turning really sharp they rubbed a fuzz.
I am remaining very calm and not even close to nuttin up! I wanted to ensure that he knows what the measurements he gave actually apply to. Then I read these last two posts and have to wonder if you have ever sold or had to really work with tires to understand that the first two numbers in the tirre size are actually a ratio and not the actual measurement. So running a 31 X 10.50 on a whell that is 10" wide will not equate to a quarter inch overlap as stated, and the sidewall will not be tapering from 15" to 10.5". I guess I should take the years of Goodyear experiance and sit back and watch when others give guidance.
R15" number is rim size
