I have a 2001 with no lift. Would BFG 32x11.50x15 fit on it without rubbing? I have cragar's that these tires will fit on and I am getting a great deal on them. I am just not sure if they will fit or if it is too risky. I have measured and with 16 inches from center of wheel I have an inch gap. Also by looking at the picture I took it seems like it could fit. I have looked on the internet and some people say yes and some say no so I am really confused.

My front and rear shocks are worn, and could probably be replaced soon. With that being said I could potentially lift the truck an inch or two, but I am unsure about that because I don't know what I am getting into. Any advice? Thanks

What the hell is stock lift? If its stock there is no way those tires will fit without massive amounts of trimming and you will also need wheel spacers in the front to clear a 11.5 wide tire

Oh I meant to say no lift.

I had 31x10.50 15 on a stock-bodied Pathy (1997) with no issues.

However, from what I'm reading, Andrew is mostly right. You'll likely have rubbing issues. See here: http://npora.ipbhost.com/index.php?showtopic=19867

Okay so I realize I definitely would have to lift it to make the tires to fit. After reading what hitman posted all I would need is springs and shocks. Correct? Then I may have a little rubbing when they are fully compressed, but thats about it?

I made a thread over on npora of how to fit 33's (285 75 16) on the 2in lift using the stock wheels and 1.5in wheel spacers. The tires measure 32.8x11.5 brand new so thats pretty close. Read through this thread and re read it if you have questions. All the answers are there and you should be okay if you follow it

Edit: I ran this setup for around a year before doing my sfd without issues, its a great setup and gives the truck a good mean stance.
