This the first 32" tire I found via google

Good luck putting an 11.5 inch tire on stock 15" rims. I'm sure they rub hard too.
I run 235 R75/15 with more or less stock everything on my 72. Power never an issue except it runs out of rpms on the freeway. Taller tires for the rubber overdrive effect or some sort of overdrive like the Ranger or a 5 speed like the NV4500 tranny perhaps a 6 speed.
Driving a short wheel base "box" at high speed is spooky. I grab the steering wheel low and brace my hands with my knees to try and dampen the twitches at freeway speeds. 65mph it sounds like its ready to throw a rod, 55 mph yea much happier.

I rarely drive over 50 and never on the freeway so thats not an issue.
Can anyone confirm that 32s will rub with stock wheel?

It depends on the width. If I were you, I'd find a 33x9.5" solution. Looks better and the 9.5 width will definitely not rub.
FYI - Kenda Klever R/T KR601.....NEW size on the way..... 33x9.50R15LT
I've been trying to find a 33x9.50R15 for a while. This size is listed in the attached brochure. I've been looking online for these but have not been able to find any. I called Kenda today and spoke with a rep who told me this size was currently being sent to their distributors and should be...

Over here 750/16s were common on fj45s and optioned on fj40s, they measure 32inches. I run 235/85-16s no problem as I don't want to run tubes,tho they're better fitted to a 6 inch rim with zero offset. The later toyota 6 slot steelies as fitted to 80s Cruisers and LN 106 Hiluxes work as do a lot of period 16inch mags.
