32's and stock rims

[rumney510]

I am about to put 32x11.5 BFG ko's on my 2000 xlt. i was planning on using the stock rims, but the guy at the tire shop said i would be better with 15x8.

Will i have any problems using the stock rims ?
what would be a good tire pressure to use off road with these?


thanks all

32s will fit fine on stock rims but you'll need some lift. You can air down a bit lower with a narrower rim.

The 11.50's will fit fine on 7" rims, they just fit better on 8"ers. As for air pressure off-road, unless you or someone you are with has a compressor or air tank I'd stick with 15-20psi. That way if you need to drive to the gas station after you get off the trail, you won't hurt the tires.

How much lift to fit 32's? I've got a 95xlt with a shackle lift and torsion twist (about 1.5 inches over stock). I've got 31's now but want to go up to 32's. Will I fit or will I rub? Thanks in advance.

Craig,
You should be ok with 32's and just tha 1.5" torsion twist, and shackles. If you rub, it will only happen at full compression.
