I am looking at buying a set of rims/tires 32"x11.50r15 but the rim is 10 " wide, Will this fit? any bead/offset issues? Has anyone ran these size rims? Ideally I was looking for some 8" wides..Any input is encouraged.

I run 33x12.50.x15's on an 8 inch rim and there just right.
I woundnt run a 10" because it might affect your turning radius and rub like crazy.

I rocked it:

Nice pic's there,, Well in that case I stand corrected, But It will come down to back spacing to get the sweet spot that you have on your rig...

I've run 10" wide rims with 33x12.5 all terrains with no problems. My preference after using various rims is the 8" to 8.5" fronts that keep the tires within approximately 1" of the outside fenderwell. When I ran the 10s, the front tires were very exposed, threw lots of mud and rocks, and may have attracted undue officer observation. For my last set of 33" all terrains, I used the 8" front and 10" rear wheels. Though I couldn't rotate the tires, I had the same outside exposure of tread and the track width was pretty close to even.

The black Raider above has a body lift, therefore additional clearance at the leading edge of the front fenderwell near the bumper.

My Raider all flexed and no hitting:

Bad deal in this photo, the 32x11.5 all terrain on a stock wheel sat too close to the frame and rubbed all the inside of the rear fenderwell:


Necessary clearance points on the front with 33x12.5s on 10" rims...just where I showed you the other day:

Lastly, I think these are 36s, but not sure of the rim width (NSFW):

So it is safe to assume that the issues I would have with this setup on my stock truck would be 1. Tires sticking out too far on the front...I was under the impression that as long as the mudflaps covered the width of the tire that it's legal in ca.

2. So, pretty much no rubbing with this setup on a stock vehicle? No other noticeable drawbacks 'on road'?

The rims are much lighter alloys so that's why I'm also attracted to them.

Thanks,

Matt

Can you say "Motorboat"....

Matt, you may still have to judiciously trim the front bumper ends. One thing in particular with the wide rims is that the tires will track very nicely and not wallow like the stock rim width with a given 11.5 or 12.5 inch section. My Raider was very spritely with the big all terrains and I was not afraid to go deep into the appropriately graded road corners. Given the Monty/Raider isn't a sports car like the Austin Healey Sprites I had, but you couldn't tell the truck to not corner. Local roads like Scott Road between Rancho Murieta and Folsom, or Hwy 49 from El Dorado to Plymouth were really fun in the twisty-windy sections.

Have you mentioned whether the tires are all terrain or muds? This will have some bearing on the road manners.

Johnny B...the gold spokes are great with the body trim!! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

another quick question - do stock tacoma wheels have the same lug pattern as a montero? they're 6 lug but I'm not sure about the spacing.

thanks

matt

Are you telling me you owned a Sprite? Someone pawned one on pawn stars, I had never seen one, it looked like a micro-machine!

The guy with the 10" wides just sold them, so now im looking at these ones which are cheaper and mounted on stock tacoma rims. theyre the same, mud terrains.
