I ran tires that were alsmost 32inch equivalents with 3 inches. it should be fine depending on back paceing and weither it's a 8inch or 10inch rim you might have to trim.

what kind of lift are you useing? I have a generation 3 so it mught be different.

My tires were 265-70-17 mudterrains on 17x8's with 5.00 backspaceing I did have to trim but not much. There for sale actually. I just got some 15x10's and new x-terrains.

If I remember correctly, Hawkeye used to run 32" BFG AT's on his 15x7 rims without any rubbing before his body lift. I think that with 15x8's, you might have a little rubbing. Unfortunately, you 2wd guys don't have torsion bars to raise the front end with for that extra bit of clearance.

I think you can run them but you will have to trim in my opinion. it's just plastic though.

I'm sure he won't notice if you do it neatly. I used a dremel tool on mine and you really can't tell unless you look really carefully. It's hard to say whether or not you would have to trim because every tire is a little different. I don't know of any that are a true 32". They are usually 31.8 or 32.1 or something like that. You would have to check the individual specs of the tire. The more aggressive treaded tires usually tend to cause more rubbing problems.
