Question Wheels and Tires

Ok guys: here's the idea. I want to run Michelin LTX M/S 32x11.50x15's on my truck. Thinking about either 8 or 10 inch wheels. Question is will the tires mounted on the 10's be too wide in front that they would rub wheel well? Or, should I use 8"s? I want to use same widths all around, not mixed sizes front and rear. Keep in mind I'm 2wd not 4wd. Any thoughts?

Thanks for your reply. That helps. I was thinking that the 32's would be a little overkill anyway, but I'll keep options open.

If your looking for a tire recomendation, I'd suggest BFG all terrains. . .31" x 10.5". I had a set on my '87 f-150 for the entire time I had it. . .6 years and 45,000 miles lol. They still had about 3/16" of tread on them (varied accross the crown), enough to get me by for 1 more year before I had to replace them But they are $$$ And they looked great and had just enough whine for my taste
