32"s should fit, but swampers might get you in trouble. The lugs are larger than that of a standard tire, which will probably rub. One thing you can do is shim the bumper out a bit. That might give you a bit more clearance. One thing you might have to look at is backspacing. 32"s normally fit, but you might need to change rims to accomplish what you want. I am sure others will chime in here.

They'll rub if you cut the wheels all the way. Really isn't a problem for me. I still have a really good turning radius. My 31x10.5's rubbed if I turned all the way too. No difference.

Oh yeah. I don't have Swampers. That may be a problem, I don't know.

Yeah 33's will fit but IMHO it looks stupid without a lift, and even 31's rub on full lock anyway with stock rims. And 33's with no lift will bottom out on hard bumps. 31's don't, not sure about 32's.

Guys I have Cooper Discovers 32,11.50's on my 96 Bronco with no problems whatsoever on the factory alloys. Even had her twisted up pretty good a couple of times on washouts with no rubbing. Truck is stock.

I'm running Bridgestone Dueler A/Ts 32x11.5s on stock 15x8 rims with no problems. The Bronco will take 33s on stock suspension without problem. I'm sure if you do a search you'll come up with about 20 other threads just like this one.

Imho

My 88 Has 32x 10.5" All terrains and it rubs at full lock especially over bumps,
my 10.5's cut a bit on the front fenders if I'm really off-camber

my 81 had nearly bald 35's that rub less (on the frame and rad. arm) than my 32's buy they are on very offset rims and stickout the fenders, It looks great, but not to the police.

btw. there's no sheet metal in the way on my 81, the fenders are cut larger.

Got 32x11.50's BF MTTA's on mine. She runs well, only problem is when backing up and cutting hard. It begins to knuckle.
