31's or 32's debate..help!

Arg! :fire:

A few of my friends and myself are haveing a debate over my "X" and its tire size. Can you guys help me out on this one?
The argument is thus;

I have an ex with a 2" BL and 32x11.5x15's.......some say awsome
Others keep telling me that i was an idiot and that i should have gone with a set of 31x10.5x15's since a 32x11.5x15 actualy only gives me an extra (aprox) 1/2" of hight with a greater rollover chance. And also running a 11.5 wide tire is to wide for my "X"

i myself have no prob with my 32's and besides the extra width should help with the roll over factor :roll:

Please help me out eh

Maybe I should just really piss them off and go with a set of 38's (with alot of work lol)

i would've gone with 32's myself. actually i would've gone with a 3" body lift and tried to fit some 33's. i wouldn't worry about the little bit of extra height. odds are if u roll it, it was going over wether u had the lift or not. some people lift it a good 4" jus to put some 32's so since you only have a 2" body lift your ahead of the game cuz your sitting 2" lower than you would be. no matter how u look at it i certainly wouldn't step down a tire size.

I had a 4" lift with 35s and no sway bars and it handled better than my friends 2000 GTI. I wouldn't worry about your 1/2" height difference from 31s to 32s.

I think that you have answered your own argument...

The fact that you are running the tires - love them - and are having no issues with them sort of wins, wouldn't you say?

Reality is always a stronger argument than theory...

I'll stick my 33'd Ex next to any stocker for anti-rollover ability... and I'm running loose as a goose in the suspension department...
