I just bought some used 32x11.5 Wild Country's today for an awesome deal. My problem is I dont know how well they will fit under my Jeep. Ive got 31x10.5s on now on stock height with fenders trimmed and there is no rubbing. Should I be alright with the 32s until I can lift the thing within the next couple weeks?

 

only thing to do is slap them on and try it. With them being trimmed we really cant tell if they'll rub or not. although they'll rub on the LCA's

 

What are LCA's?

 

Lower Control Arms.

 

They will probably rub even with trimmed fenders so you might have to trim more and bumpstop. And you will need rims with less backspacing so they dont hit your lcs's.

 

why do you want 32's anyway, you got a hard on for them or something? i didnt run 33's till i had a 6" lift!

 

Yes I do have a hard on for them!! How'd you quess? Ha. But no, the 31s that are on there from when I bought the Jeep are at the end of their rope and after about 2 weeks of searching for a matching set of 31s in decent shape I turned up nothing. But I did find these 32s today with 80% tread for $60 for all 4!! So it was a deal I couldnt pass. Unortunately, I am a broke *** college student who can't go out and drop a grand at les schwab for new tires...so hard on or not I take what I can get. Now, if you have any advice to give on the fir of the 32s that'd be appreciated but if your just gonna sit around and ask about another guys hard on then go somehwre else

 

11.50s WILL rub the LCA's

 

Not sure about yours, but most Dana 30 front axles have a (turning radius) limiting screw. They are usually welded at the factory though.

It's possible to grind the welds off, & get the bolts to turn (or snap off & need to be drilled & re-tapped).

This would allow adjustment to prevent them from hitting the LCA's.

 

I'm running 31X10.5 on my 1" lifted XJ, but I ran them stock sus. for a while, and they seemed to have enough clearance for another inch, height and width wise. Don't plan on gettin much flex room, but just running down the road they should be fine. They'll rub at full lock, like the 31's though.

 

Offsets..........

 

Well, I got the 32s put on today and there is no rubbing on anything...not even the LCAs. Thanks for the replys guys!

 

i would love to see some pictures of these when you get the chance, i have never seen 32's on a stock height XJ before.

 

nice i ran 32s on a 2in BB with cut fenders be cool to see what it looks like on a stock height rig

 

I Use to have 32's i just have 2in blocks and cut fenders. But i just got 31, more room for flex and better in the snow!
