I currently have the stock steelies on my cherokee and I have 31x10.50x15 tires sitting in my garage to go on them. I just came across a set of steelies on EBAY and they are advertised as 15x6, is this true? I thought all the stock rims were 15x7. Will my tires fit theese rims or should I start looking for another set?

It won't be a problem. A buddy of mine ran 31x10.50s on a 15x6 rim and never had unusual wear. Looked great too!

Beware of the brand.....just because it's Nascar black with a tough name attached doesn't mean it's better. Seen a few of these rims bend with mild trail use, FWIW.
I've run 15x7 stock 5 spoke steels wheels for 3 years with 32's and no odd tirewear or handling issues, BTW they are bolted to 1.25" billet adapters for a total BS of 4".
Tracy Micheal's ran 33x12.50' on these rims for years with no problems, your call here.

I run 35s on a 7" rim. So I think you be fine with 31s on 6"ers. I get a little more tire height out of the skinnier rim. I like tall and skinny.
