Will a 31x12.5-15 tire fit in the back fenderwell with a 2.5/4" drop?
Will these tires fit under the rear stock fenderwell of my '81 with a 2.5/4" drop?
13.4" section width is cutting it pretty close!!! I'm running a 15x10 with a 5.5" backspacing. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/HOO-19275/ Tire Size 31 x 12.50-15 Wheel Diameter 15 in. Sidewall Style Tire Diameter 30.50 in. Section Width 13.40 in. Tread Width 10.30 in. Minimum Recommended Wheel Width 8.50 in. Maximum Recommended Wheel Width 11.00 in.

I can't say for certain other than its going to be very close. Mine has some 29/9.50/15's as rollers on an 8" rim with a five inch drop and they are a tight fit. I can see 10.5's barely fitting, but not so sure about 12.5's. Hopefully someone can provide better results for you.

I know some guys are running the 315/60-15 with a 12.9 section width without having to trim anything under the fenderwell.
I guess no one else has tried the 31x12.5-15 with 13.4" section width. I'm thinking it might fit. It wouldn't definently be the biggest street legal tire you could fit on a 15x10 under a stock fenderwell. Here are clearance pictures of a 295/50/15 with a 12.17 in section width. The tire I want to run will be 1.23" wider than these.
