I'm not sure about running them on a 7" rim, but I'm running the 31" trexus tires on my daily driver and off road it without any problems, they're a great tire. Why not spend the extra 80.00 on tires and only have one set, then you can afford the 8" rims. If you're concerned about offset I can measure mine for you. Actually I have a 31" spare on a steel rim purchased from National 4wd if you want to try it on your rig, as those you can purchase. The rest of my rims are the aluminum ford turbine rims, but you can find those cheap in most buy and sell papers, we can pull one of those of my rig and try it on yours if you live around here. I kno0w you're in Canada but can't remember where.
