Your top view picture doesn't agree with your measurement statement. I get a little larger than a 30" tire comparing the 15" rim size to the tire OD (giving allowance for the rim lip).

I agree Kyle, I think not. I get about a 30" tire too.

1. Because I took the picture with the tire off to have more room to show what I was talking about. The pieces I rub on.

No, he is taking about the picture looking down on the tire (top view) where you can see shoes painted with highlighter. This is an easy pic to check because you lose no dimensions to perception. Measure rim size on screen with a ruler, double that should be 30 inches, with a 15 in rim. This makes your measurements seem...off.

Because you've owned this truck from the day it rolled off the dealer lot...

Well, hate to sound like a smart-aleck: but I got it from my aunt. And she's never done anything to it. I live 3 houses down from her. My vans aren't colored with a highlighter, they're faded. And I don't see how my measurements can be "off"? The tire is old, but it's barely been used. I mean it clearly states 32x11.50x15. And let's not forget my truck is a custom conversion.

There's only one way to settle this, lets see some pictures with a tape measure. Not calling you a liar by any means, but it will end this questioning

Good idea DS, measurements with a tape measure would fix this all up. Sorry about the kicks, i was just making a joke. There may be something with the photo that makes on screen measurements not work, idk.

If you wanna save some money, stick with 31x10.50's. They will be cheaper to buy and won't rub as much.
You are gonna get sick of constantly bashing those 32"s into your fenders in real world driving.
