Has anyone put 31 X 10.50's on an X-terra without a lift? I am just wondering if that is possible, or will I have to put a lift on mine. Hopefully not, I don't know if that would look to good or not.

Yes, you can put 31x10.50's on a 2000... You'll just need to trim the front mud flaps to prevent rubbing. Something like this...



I thinK the tires are 32's so you wouldn have to trim as much.

Please also consider what wheels you use. Rear spacing on most aftermarket wheels(for this application) will place the wheel/tire assy farther out than the factory wheels. Add a wider tire with a larger diameter to the mix and you can(will) have turning radius clearance problems which will need to be addressed with the cutting wheel, as described above. :)

STORMY: can you submit your ride to the MEMBERS RIDES contest, as described by Fred in his other thread? That thing looks badass!!
