Default another stupid tire question......

yea I know. use the search button. post in the tire and lift thread.... blah blah... that works about 99% of the time. BUTTT I have a new question. as far as running 32x11.5's, all I can come up with is that I cant run stock b/s because it rubs lca's. That is not a problem for me, since my long arms and slightly inverted to accomadate up to a 37" tire on 4.5" of b/s. what I want to no is about the rear. cant find this answer on the search button. can I Run an 11.5 without it being to close to the leafs? any pics or explanations or answers or anything will be highly appreciated.

I would recommend leaving about an inch between the tire and spring. Since a 31/10.5 fits I would think a 32/11.50 would probably fit because it's only .5 wider but I'm not sure.

yea thats true only .5" wider.... also the bolt stick out on the little bracket that holds the leaf pack together... i can cut it a little. I guess I just dont want to buy them and have them not fit. killer deal guy down the street has 4 brand new with bar code still on them 32" goodyears for 300$ cuzz he needs the money and totaled the truck he was gunna put them on.

You could get 1/4in spacers for a few bucks at Pepboys to use them on the rear only if they end up rubbing.

Get a tape measure and check them yourself, I've found that works better than asking strangers that may or may not be 100% accurate.

I'm assuming DuraTracs? Either way, that's one hell of a deal. Get them, for sure!
