BL on 32s.....

I am debating on getting a bodylift but am not gonna be able to afford new tires to put 33s or 35s on so I am asking if anyone thinks that the bl and 32s will look fine or just plain stupid. Be brutal haha.

Yea it will look fine until you can afford new tires. I ran 31's on my 3 inch spindle lift for several months and it didnt look horrible.

I have a set of 32 x 11.50s on 15x8. The fronts rub on full compression.
The rims have less offset than the OEM rims. (3.75 vs. 4.5)
