32x11.5x15

Anyone running 32x11.5x15 with no lift on their bullnose? It's time for new tires and I want to go bigger. Currently running 235x75x15 on my 7"x15" 5 slot mags (that I want to keep using). Post pic of what you got, and how you like them.
Thanks, Joe.

I personally wouldnt put 11.5" wide tires on 7" rims. I'm running 30.5" x 10.7" (265/75r15) coopers on my 2wd. Wanting 11.5" tires i wouldnt go with anything smaller than 8" wide rims - but I'm sure everyone has their own opinion. Check recommended specs by the tire manufacturer (or check TheTireRack.com)

I am with Dagwood on the rim / wheel size.
8"min and think 10" is what it calls for.
As said go to Tire Rack, they list what size wheels the tire manf. says to use with what size tire.

You also did not say what truck you want to install them on, 4x2 or 4x4?
Guess no lift if that is why you asked "with no lift"?

Thanks for the help guys. It’s a 4x4 351w 4 speed manual. I say no lift because I don’t want to lift mine. Maybe a front leveling kit, but that’s it.

Leveling kits don't work on these trucks unless you keep them below 1.5 inches. Those tires you want to run are way too big without a lift. They are going to rub unless all you do is drive straight all the time. They also kill your acceleration.

Looks like 31x10.5x15 might be the answer

I have run those with no lift. With some stock rims they will rub the radius arm up front during tight turns in the parking lot. But when I switched over to a aftermarket 8 inch rim, they quit doing that. They still kill some of the get up and go of the truck, but it's tolerable. I had 3.50 gears with a c6.
