Looking to clear 32x11.50 tires and aftermarket wheels
 
Right now I have 31x10.50 BF Goodrich All-Terrains on the factory rims. The only suspension work I have done is an add-a-leaf and a torsion crank. This clears the tires really well, but I'm looking to go a little bigger. I plan on getting 32x11.50 tires; they are not only taller but wider. On top of that I plan on putting on RockCrawler wheels which will make the tires stick out a little further. I know that it would rub pretty bad on the set up I have for me right now. My question is would a 2" body lift allow the clearance for the new wheels and tires?

What's the reason for wanting to get the 32's? The BL will help but I would think that if you don't have enough backspacing you will hit on the fenders.

If you keep the stock rims, trim the fenders, add shackles, and crank your t-bars... you can run those tires.

Otherwise, you're going to rub.

Ok change of plan... I am going to stick with the 31's for a while, but I still want the new wheels.

With new wheels the 31's will rub, but its going to be easier fitting them than fitting the 32s. I dont know too much about trimming fenders, but I do know that I dont want to do it myself. If I got a new torsion key and cranked up the t-bars the rest of the way do you think I could fit those wheels? If not how much do you think it would cost to pay an offroad shop to trim them for me?

Watch your ball joints and cv axles if you're going to do any off-roading with a maxed out t-bar crank... it increases the wear on those parts by a whole heck of a lot...

I know about wearing out the parts... I'm just wondering about clearance right now and fender trimming prices right now

I plan on clearing 32's with a 2 inch body lift and some fender trimming. But i'm going to wait until i can find a used set for a good price.

Im running on 32's. 2" Body Lift, torsion bar crank about 2", and fenders needed to be cut.
