I had 32x11.50s on my truck before I put the lift on it,no rubbing at all but you will have a problem with rubbing if you rims are wider than 7 inches.

You can put the 32x11.50s on it you will just have a little rubbing on the front inner plastic of the fenderwell nothing that a little trimming wont solve.Have the dealer test fit one on the truck,most will do this for you so you can see how they fit before you drive off with them.The 31x10.50s will fit without any rubbing at all.Hope this helps,and good luck!

2wds do not have torsion bars... they use coil springs for lift. Taller spring eguals taller truck! :- )

I just pu a set of 32x11.50x15 BFG MT km'S on the stock rims on my 97 4x4 and I get rub on inside on the frame. It is only at nearly full wheel crank that it rubs. I Know that others have had no rub with this size tire but the extra nubs on the side of the new KM's is what is rubbing. I think that I will eventually get new rims with more backspacing to fix this, but it really isnt that bad.

Hope this helps.....

I saw a thing a while back on a website that showed a dakota running 33X12.50s with no lift other then cranking the torsion bars and doing some trimming.

I run 33x12.5x15 General's on. Click on my profile to see.

No lift, Custom front bumper and torsion bars raised due to extra bumper weight.

Message:
FXF, you have 33x12.5x15 tires on without a lift? You were obviously able to avoid the front tire rub with the new front bumper & torsion bar raising. That front bumper looks nice by the way, how much was it?
Back to the 33's, do they rub anywhere? Do you think I would have a problem if I did the same but put the 33's on the stock 16" rims?

I have a 88 dak 4x4 std with no lift I was wondering if 31"X10.50X15 would fit if I tightened the torsion bars and will this screw up my clutch and tranny.

Someone had asked about what tires for a 2wd... i have a stock suspension on mine and im running 31x10.5 BFG AT's on 15x8 rims (the ones that came with my dak) i have very very very slight rubbing if i crank my wheel ALL the way over... the only problem youll have like me is the top of the tire will hit the wheel well if you hit a big bump... but in that case you can put in coil spacers or a fabtech 2" lift that will level out your truck and solve your problem (im fixing to put the 2" lift in soon) if you want pics or more info on what the tires look like on the truck or something feel free to email me
