You can actually fit 32x11.5x15 tire on your truck and on the factory rims without having to install a lift, you may notice a slight decrease in MPG and speed, but that depends on what gear ratio and how heavy your foot is.

I would have had to at least ask what kind of truck he had.

Well, I didn't have to as yoda already listed that he has a 1995 4x4 with 15x7.5" rims , i.e. F-150 4x4 (by the way is the same year and type truck that I have, so I do know what fits without a lift (I have already been down that road)

A 32" tire will rub on the radius arm when you turn the wheel all the way. I have a picture of a stock F-150 with 32's on it in my gallery if you want to take a look. 1-2" is easy, just swap out the coil springs that cost about 130-140 bucks and get an alignment.

MustangGT221 is right, my bad 
. Just about anything over stock will rub on the radius arm. I just got used to not turning the wheel all the way. Or you can get creative with a bolt and make some stops, like the older solids have.
