32x10.5/15 ?? - Ford Explorer Ranger Enthusiasts "Serious Explorations"®

Do any manufacturers make a tire in this size? I haven't found any but it seems like it would be a useful size. I know they make 33x10.5. Why not 32s??

I don't think they make em. 32's are a rare size by themselves. So having a lot of width options for them isn't gonna happen too often. What's wrong with 11.50s?

There is a Superswamper TSL radial that is a 32x10.50R15. Might be useful to avoid fender rub. I almost put a set on a 4runner I had but found the 11.50s only rubbed at full flex.

Well, the main reason is I would like to avoid buying new rims. I am a little skeptical about mounting an 11.5 on a 7" rim. It would also help on fender rub since I don't plan on more than 1.5 to 2" of lift.

Thanks,

Steve

I'm currently running 33"x12.5"x15" on my stock rims.

No Problems! About 15,000miles!!!

I'm running 32x11.50 with a 3" BL on my stock rims and have no problems and no rubbing.

How do you think this will work on a 98 sport:

15X8 Rock crawler rims w/3.75" offset

Tires: Pro-Comp MT's size 32"X 11.50"

Life, (i have 4wd) up front: TT, Rancho 9000x shocks
in back: 4 door leaf springs, shackles
Double AAL

Im pretty sure the rear will be ok, but will i have to do a lot of trimming up front or just some minor trimming?

Also, will these tires look too stuffed in my wells and make it look like i have no lift on there?

---I might have no choice in the matter, im not going down to 31's cause they're almost stock size. I wanted P265/75R16's but Rock Crawler doesnt make the 16" rims with a 3.75" offset.

---If trimming isnt too bad then i want to do this. I dont have the money or time right now for a BL, when i get some though im going to do just a 2" BL cause i dont wanna go any larger than 32's and wear my tranny down (im not changing gears)

Thanks
