32"-11.50x15 on stock steel rims?

[dachoppa]

I am looking at buying a set of 32x11.5x15 Goodyear MT/R's on wagon wheels.

I can and will use them is, as is, mounted as they are. For now.

But wondering as I got a nice set of stock 5.5" wide steelie rims, if it would be advisable to mount this width and size tire on the stock rim?

I just like the look of the stock rim and hubcap.

Any issues? I see lots of arguments for and against it. I have seen pictures of larger diamter tires, up to 33" and wider, up to 12.5 mounted on the stock rims.

Can it be done? Safely? Whats the impact, like does the tire tread profile, or contact to ground become less, more rounded profile?

Thanks!

32x12.5 - 15 on 6.5
on 5.5, you would definitely wear the centers

I had stock steelie centers installed in larger barrels (16x8)
not cheap, but what I wanted.
