31s aren't small and are too big to be an easy fit if you're not prepared to cut the bodywork. When i first put them on i was well chuffed with the ground clearance. I think 31s are a good size for a mildly modded Zuk. There is plenty of choice of tyres in that size too.

We were going to put my old 31s onto the SJ but my Dad doesn't want to spend a lot of money or cut it so we are gonna put my 235 Kuhmos on it.

When I put the 31s on mine had to cut arches back just in front on the doors as they rubber on full lock so bear that in mind dont just chop upwards

31's were to big for me, they rubbed on lock and I had to run spacers with them, I opted for 235/75r15 instead, they are 29" across and fit much better!

Forgot you might need spacers or off set rims to stop 31s rubbing springs on lock too . But it worth it to get the ground clearance

31s fit with 2 inch lift and a mild folding/hitting of the seam welded arch or equivelant to 2 inch VL.

Dont know what 31s equate to in other sizing but surely the best way to know how big it is is 31". It does exactly what it says on the tin.

If they foul the springs on full lock just limit the full lock.
