Tire fit - quick question...

Hey all
Will this work with no problem?
2003 4x4 w/PML
32x12.5xR15 on 15x8 rims w/4.75" BS?
According to my calculations the BS will make the 12.5's stick out furthur towards the wheel wells by only 5/16"

You need a 2" BL too.... I assume you knew some plastic from the front wells was going to get trimmed...and that the 8" rim vs the 7" rim adds spacing as well? They will rub on compression regardless w/o the BL.

Mine fit fine but I do have an ARB up front and used the reciprocating saw liberally all around!!!! Have fun.

Good point, yeah, if you have a sawzall, and are willing to use it...44" boggers on 0.0" BS rims will also fit.

Would I need a 2" BL for 32x11.5xR15's?

If you are willing to lose ALL the wheel well plastic in front, you can just fit 32x11.5's w/o a lift. Several guys I know wheel like that.

I ran 32x11.5x15 on 15X8 rims with 4.75 backspacing with my PML for about a week before finishing off my 3" lift without too much issue...
For my '03 it only required trimming about an inch off the front wheelwell plastics because they rubbed during turns...

One thing though is that I have the BFG All Terrains not MT's. According to BFG they are manufactured within about half an inch of each other if i remember right but from what ive seen most people with the PML use the All Terrain???
