Tough to say, all depend on your rims backspacing and true lift height. 32's scrubbed for me with 3in but it was only at lock. Plus i have 3.25 BS. on 15x8

In rare cases a screw will bust a belt on a tire but you'd know if that happened. Plug it and go from there

No idea what my backspacing is... I'll probably stick with either 30s or 31s...

id do 31s, if you want to keep your flares, you will have to run a wheel spacer or a wheel with less backspacing than stock if you do run 31s. A good combo is a 31 with about 3.75 inches of backspacing
