    Yes...
    I ran those tires (BFG M/T) on my 96 Tacoma with 1.5" Rancho lift and then I changed to OME 881 lift (2") lift. No trimming or rubbing.

    Running an 11.5" on a 7" wide rim is theoretically not ideal.

    You need to run your tires at a lower air pressure to ensure even tread wear.
    Chalk test will work.

    If its OEM rim, it'll be 7" wide.

    My front lift was OME 2" lift. My rear lift was custom ....(re-arched with 2 custom AAL's).

    Here's a shot of my old truck....with 32's on stock OEM rims w/ OME lift.

    And actually.... stock tires on the 1st gens were 31"x10.50"

    32's really aren't that much bigger. It's the WIDTH that's not ideal for the 7" wide tire (as mentioned earlier). You should technically run 8" wide rim.

    I actually had trouble finding a shop that would mount the 32x11.50 tires on my 7" rims. Sears ended up doing it for me.

    Did you ever have any trouble running a 7" wide rim with an 11.5" wide tire ? How much air pressure did you have to run in them ? Thanks for the help , I really appreciate the info .

    No trouble running that combination. I honestly can't remember the tire pressure - and even so - the pressure will vary depending on what tire you buy. It was 9 years ago that I owned that truck.:cool:

    Whatever tire you go with.... you should perform a chalk test.

    FYI....If you are at all concerned about 'gas mileage', going with 32x11.50 tire is probably not a good idea. Lowering pressure will decrease your gas mileage.

    I got a hold of an old school set of white steel wheels today that are 9" wide and has a different amount of back spacing ( 3" from back of flange to out side of rim and my stockers have 4" ) so Im hoping a set of 32x11.50s will bolt right up and I wont have to do anything but find a mud hole . I also shouldn't need to air them don and take a big fuel mileage hit . Im gonna bring the ol white steel wheels to work with me and send them to the paint yard and gettem to bast , prime , and slap some black paint on them then I will have 2 sets of rims . Then I can leave my street tires on my stockers and put the grips on just for huntn season . Thanks for your help , and your truck looks bad azz just like it sets in that picture !

    Good Luck!
    You should still do a chalk test to ensure proper wear of your tires.
