32/9.50 super swampers

[SteveVB]

Is anyone running this size ? I just picked up 5 to use as dedicated off road tires for my Navajo. Im trying to get a handle on how much room Im going to need to run them, and was hoping someone already did the head scratching.

They are speced at 32.3" tall and 8.5" tread so they are as tall as say BFg 33'/12.50s but just a bit narrower than the 31/10.50s I run now.
Im going to try and run them on a 7" rim with 3.75 or 4" B.S. and add 2" of lift to my present 2 1/2"

On the street Im going to run some stock late model 16" wheels with 265/75 ATS's

Any thoughts??

you will be fine even without the extra lift. i say this because some can stuff a 30 or 31 on their X. this is only 1-2 inches bigger and you already have a 2+ inch lift. also some put 31x10.5s on and if it is narrower i think youll be more than fine. no problem

Well not quite.

Well there not going to fit without more lift that I know. The 31s on 7" rims /stock backspacing just clear the rear lip of the front fender with the wheels turned and rub when compressed. I need to move the tire outboard a little anyway to decrease the rubbing on the radius arm which will cause even more wheel well problems, so another 1"-2 will be needed minimum. Wheel backspacing is going to be important, with the tires almost 2 1/2" taller than the 31's I run now.

I wanted to know if anyone is running these tires and what wheel/ backspacing your using.
