32x11.5's on a 15x7?

[mondo77]

hey guys quick q. I will soon be doing a 3" fabtech spindle lift and want to put some 32x11.5 bfgoodrich AT's on my truck. I know the rims on my edge are 15x7 but i'm not sure about the backspacing seeing as how i can only have a max of 3 and 3/4".

However my ain question is will the 32's fit on the 15x7 rims. the BFGoodrich site says they should be on a 8-10" wide rim but i REALLY dont feel like buying new rims. the reason I was wondering if this was possible was on the fabtech site, the lift pic is of a truck with 32x11.5's on 15x7" rims.

is it possible that they will fit?

If BFG says they wont fit, then dont make them.

Rims are cheap. Search craigslist for 15x8 jeep wrangler rims.

not sure where in socal you are so,,

they will fit. i know its not recommended by the manufacturer but they will work with the 15x7. theyd look a heck of alot better on a 8-10 inch rim IMO

They'll be fine, a few guys on here are running 12.5 wide tires on 7" wide rims without problems.

We run 35x12.50 tires on 15x7s regularly in offroad racing and it is by far the best combo to run. You get more sidewall flex/cushion and the bead will stay seated better than it would with a wider rim. The trade off is sidewall bulge and sometimes it affects wear on the street.

32x11.50s on stock 15x7s:


The 8" wheel recommendation for these was one I never did fully understand, they always recommended the same size wheel for 33x12.50 tires too. You should be fine.

+1 the only side affects you might have are ballooning and uneven wear because of the ballooning but otherwise you will be fine

I may have a set of 32x11.50 mud tires on aluminum American Racing rims for sale soon, price will be good if you are interested. Have to get my other wheels and tires for my Explorer first. The wheels are 15x8's by the way.

maybe. depends on road noise, how much they are and how much tread is left on them.
