Hi all,

Is anyone running 32x11.5xR15s on a 3 inch lift? If so, how much trimming is involved?

Thanks,
Will

I run 32x10.5x16 with no trimming at all. Stock bumpers, fenders and bumper end caps. Why 11.5" wide? Is this a trail rig?

3.5" Old Man Emu. A buddy of mine runs the same tires with the 3" Zone kit, no trimming for him either. These are daily driver Cherokees though. If trails are in the plans for your Jeep, you would want a little more clearance.

Do you have a pic of your buddy's Jeep?

Would 32x11.5x15s fit on a 3 inch without trimming?

Not really, the tire would clip the front bumper end cap and the bottom rear of the front flare every time you turn.

Ok, I’m not running flares and my end caps are trimmed.
