32" tires w/no lift?

[phoenix1055]

Anyone know if (with 15x8 rims) you can run 32 x 11.5 tires without lifting the 62 ?

Seem like you can..

Has anyone done it?

 

[lowtideride]

yes and yes.....8inch rim is better for a 12.5 inch tire.

I'm running 285/75-16's (roughly 33x11.5") on my stock suspension, no problems. It looks much better than a wimpy-ass 31 or even stock size tire!

i've got 32x11.5 bfg/mt on 15x8 rims with my stock sagging suspension. put them on the 60 with 50% tread left (so might be 30.75" dia. in reality since bfgs run small) and no rubs with light wheeling.

yes, you can run 33/10.50/15 on stock rim with no lift

32X11.50 BFG A/T's fit my stock height '89 with no problems.

Edit: Forgot to answer the whole question: Also running stock rims. IMHO, looks really good, tires fill up the wheel wells nicely.

Running this size with add a leaf/shackle lift. Works great. Like this size; good on and off road. I have MTRs and love them.

I have one more question for this thread..

What would be the biggest tires I could run without a lift? Could I run 33x12.5 without a lift? (using 15x8's) Or is there too much rub ?

I see I can do 33x10.5 on a stock rims w/no lift.

 

[DocB]

33X12.5 will rub in front (while wheeling) even with a 2 in lift. Don't listen to this Doc guy. He drinks a lot. Do listen to DocB.

 

[Doc]

Didn't I just say the same thing? ;p

If you're just trying to "look cool" they will fit. But you are going to loose some of the flex you would have had with a smaller tire.

 

[phoenix1055]

well.. after all of this good input I think I am going with a 32x11.5 on a 15x8 rim.

The rims leave me the option to go bigger if I ever get the urge.

good stuff... thxs

 

[DocB]

Good choice. Put em on, then climb until the bumper drags.

 

[phoenix1055]

Oh great. Now you got me thinking about my tires again.

Maybe I should just go back to listening the Doc that drinks alot

 

[DocB]

Remember, 33 inch tires only give your 1/2 more inch diff clearance than 32s.

It looks much better than a wimpy-ass 31 size tire!

hey i resemble that remark!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Doc]

285/75-16 is the perfect size!

Everyone should use them on a stock cruiser !

 

[phoenix1055]

285/75-16 is equivalent to what?

32x11.5? Approximate?

 

[phoenix1055]

Hey Doc B..

Do you have a pic of your rig w/32x11.5's.

I want to get an idea of what mine would look like

Can I put 32 x 11.5's on my stock 89 rims?
