Default Tire size question
I am looking to get a set of 32x11.50R15's for my xj after getting a 4.5" lift. I already have some nice 15x7 d-window wheels with 2" offset. I really don't want to buy wider rims, would I be able to squeeze 32's on my 15x7's or is it necessary to buy 8" rims? Also, whats the worst that could happen if I don't get wider ones? Thanks!

they will fit. whether they rub will depend on backspacing of your rims.

Should be fine. I've ran 12.50s and 13.50s on 7" rims without any issues and could actually air down a bit lower.
