You can definitely fit a 32x11.5r15. I would go with either a BFG A/T or BFG KM2. It would look pretty awesome.

Btw.. you can always ship me your chrome alcoas if you want to get different wheels too........... Just sayin Lol

LMAO!!! Sorry but I'm not parting with my alcoa's. So whatever I get, has to be 15". I'm worried about rubbing on the 32 w/o any tbar crank. Do they make a 32x10.5?

Not that I know of.

Just get the 32x11.5 and do a SLIGHT crank. It won't hurt anything..

Well, for my 2 wheel drive 93, I have the Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 tires on them, and they are FANTASTIC tires to drive on with a light truck.

Handles great in the dry and the wet.

everybodys gonna have theyre favorite, but if you want something semi-aggresive looking and does awesome on and off road, the BFG A/T is gonna be your best bet, and a 32x11.50 is only gonna rub the sway bar like it did on my 02 with alcoas, it doesnt hurt anything really, and it looks great and fills that wheel well up pretty good.

Edit: found a pic of my truck with the the 32's, no lift, and slight t-bar crank

thats if you insiste on a mud tire... if not a mud then the bfg all terrain ko or the nitto terra grappler... the bfg will last ALOT longer but the nitto looks more aggressive

Thats good! Mine's pretty much stock. If I could get the money for a stall, I'd do much better....but until I figure out where the dang leak is coming from, not putting no more in it.

I say get the lift and don't tell him until after it's on and then get a set of 33" BFG KM2's.

33x10.5x15 bfg a/t will do great on the road and off if you want moree aggresive the do the same with the m/t. That size will fit just fine. Here are a few pics of my 02 with the a/t. The pic's arent the best but itll give you an idea

if you have / get 16" rims then you are metric, and you can get 265/75/16 which is 32x10.5, and they will fit fine. Sick mud terrains are the firestone destination MTs, but their expensive, around 900. Or, you can get the definity dakota MTs (what I have) from pepboys for 600 mounted and balanced for all four. The make your truck look aggressive without a lift and will fit fine.
