Default 32" tires

Anyone used 32" tires with a 3 1/2-4" lift? Presently have 31s which have no problems with clearance on standard wheel wells but considering 32s. Tks

Worked for me on 4".

Was close to rubbing the back flares when I had them.

Doesn't make much difference off road but does on road. I didn't mind 32s on stock gears though.

They will fit with a 4.5" or higher very easily. Otherwise I'd personally stick with the 31's. Mine has 32x11.5 bfg all terrains's without backspacing or spacers, just factory wheels. With a steering box brace and a drop pitman, I haven't any issues thus far. btw mines a 89 limited.

I'm glad I found this thread, I just bought 32s a couple days ago from a friend, I got a 3.5" rubicon express super ride, I figured if there's any rubbingi would get coil spacers and shackles. I know my gas mileage is going to get slaughtered tho, so any guys that are running 32s, what kinda gas mileage are you getting? Also, if I want to regear, what gears should I go with?

for 32's you should run either 4.10 or 4.56 gears they are right on the line. if you want more low end power do the 4.56 and if you want "like" factory do the 4.10's
