    Hey guys...I can get 4 BFGoorich AT tires used (like new) for cheap! (32 by11.5) I have the stock 15inch wheels on my 95 Tacoma sr5 4x4. Should I expect any rubbing issues? Thanks Mike

    If you have the 15x6” Steelies then those tires may be too wide for the rim

    Do you have a lift on it? I have 32x11.50 15 on my stock wheels with a Rancho Quick lift (1.75 in.) and have no issues rubbing in the front. I can get them to rub if I air down and flex it pretty good like I did when I had my stock 31's, I had a small rub mark on the driver side on the frame.
    The day I got my tires there was another Taco with the same size tires and stock wheels with no lift at the tire shop and he said that he was rubbing a little on sharp, lock to lock turns.
    I hope this helps.
    I am running the stock 15x7 alloys by the way.

    They'll likely rub the frame in front under full turning radius, compressed

    No I dont have a lift...but I was going to get the Rancho struts as well. And I am also running the stock 15" wheels. Can I assume a wheel spacer will take care of the rubbing issue? I hate to use spacers...But I already bought the tires.

    Stock height, I’m going to say they are going to rub a little.

    Right now I’m stock with 265/75r16’s which is like a 32x10.50 on 16x7 wheels and I get a little bit of rubbing, I’m also on roached springs with 335k miles on them.

    I have sitting in the garage new 32x11.50 KO2’s and they are the same height, but noticeably wider.

    I am not running any spacers on my wheels and haven't run into any rubbing.

    I rubbed on 31x10.5x15 BFG KO2 on 15x8 -19 wheels on stock height. Very minor and it was just on the plastic liner at full lock. And by very minor I mean it's so minor that it barely even leaves a mark but I can hear it. Once I raised it 1.5", the rubbing is gone.

    Thanks!
    The 32's filled in the gap the 31's had after lifting the Taco perfectly. The rear has the Wheelers progressive AAL in without the overload spring.

    Yes they did, they were complete. I just had to install them and get an alignment.

    They will fit, rubbing all depends on your alignment with stock wheels

    Well guys I got the 32 by 11.5 BFG KO tires on today... and I did put the rancho quick lift struts on as well (Thanks homegrown xt for the info) I love the look! Passenger side rubs just a tiny bit on full turn. But that should go away after the alignment. What do you guys think? And yes I did just paint this truck in my yard! :)

    Your truck looks awesome! I hope the alignment takes care of the rubbing, I've never heard mine rub on the street but I am sure that I could make it rub off road. Is your truck a 4cyl or v6? The front looks like it sits higher than mine, the coils probably still need to settle in.
    Great job!
