32x12.5x15 BFG AT questions

I am looking at buying tires for my 87 4runner and am wondering if I can put 32x12.5x15 on the stock rims and not have any steering issues. I may also buy 31's but I like the 32's and am worried about steering rubbing. The lift isn't an issue I am just worried about steering issues. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks

First point would be that BFG does not make that size tire in the AT.

Second would be, your steering will probably be okay as long as you aren't wheeling it too hard. Trail running, and less difficult rocks will be okay. Harder stuff, the steering will quit. You'll likely break idler arms first, but tie rod adjusters like to go too.

uhmm not to burst your bubble don't u mean 33x12.50 or 32x11.50? They don't make a 32x12.50 tire as far as I know.
You could go with with a 33x10.50 tire most do and you can likely run it stock with some trimming on stock wheels.

one oth thing...I just emailed the guy and he made a mistake telling me that they were 12.5 wide...they are 11.5 wide...I am wondering if these will mount to the stock rims with no issues with steering and such.
Thanks

They will rub a little at full lock on the pinch weld and probably the lower valance.
