what size rims for 32x11.5 tires?
i found a killer deal on some 32x11.5 15's but i was doing some searching and most say you cant use them on a stock 15x7 wheel because they will rub when you turn. so what would be the best size 15" wheel and with what back space?

Your oem rims are ok to run. You will prob get a little rub. I think you want at least 3.75" bs, I think.. Options are to break the tack weld off the stopper bolt that limit wheel lock and readjust them out a bit.. Or tubular LCA's..

A 15x10 w/ 3.75" bs is a good rim to go for if your not planning on going under a 10.50, but should you ever find yourself only able to afford a smaller tire, that wide of a rim would not let you go smaller. Idk, these are my thoughts. Also.. I really hope I'm right on the 3.75" bs...

If you want to keep your stock fenders and not rub I recommend 15x8 with 4.5" backspacing check my build thread for more information.

11.5" wide tires should be on an 8" wide wheel... You can use a 10" wide wheel but IIRC you shouldn't air the tires down too much or you can break the bead easily.
I am running 32X11.5X15 on 15X8 wheels with 3.75"BS

I agree with Razor. I'm running that combo(32x11.5x15 on 15x8 rims with 3.75 backspacing.) No rubbing at full steering lock. Tires wear a little bit better too.
