Dang wallet going flat!! Got tires now!!
Look what I have done now...
I got a helluva score on them.. 4 tires mounted & balanced for $300 cash on the spot.. Brand new with less than 1 week use on a jeep.. 18/32" tread depth on them..

Jayson... it is New England.. My driveway looks like I have been running a back hoe in it.. 
I park in my driveway and I sink down 4"-6" and my tires spin just getting out.. Kinda a pain to keep it clean lol

Too much tire for a pansey jeep.. (he had stock tires on it, did some k-mart shackles (keep in mind jeeps have whay 215's stock??) no re-gearing and a 4cly... Said it was like a dog..
so far mine does not seem too bad.. I have the 4:56 gears and a 5spd and I was running the 31's.. So I will have to see.. I have only put on 10 miles so far.. but tomorow will tell.. Man, I sure did miss MT's

Firefyter, for the flat wallet problem, I like to cut newspaper the size of our paper currency. It builds "wallet thickness" ALMOST as well as the real thing. As you get your hands on real cash, you can just swap it out with the "newsie cash" It keeps your wallet in shape just fine.
In fact... I've used this solution for 7yrs now with JUST the "newsie cash". No real money in sight. My wallet is holding up just great!
Hope this helps!

BWAHAAAHAAA!!!!
Too funney!!
I will try to grab a couple of side shots.. She looks sweet with the 32's on, really fits the truck better..
I don't plan on raising the front, I don't need it, and this is a Nwe England truck.. Those adjusters are rusted solid, don't even want to go there.. I have full stuff lock to lock.. I just can not see the need to change them or raise them..

Here you go. Note the depth of the mud in my driveway..
What is on the tires is all from backing into my driveway!
They look even better in person, they nicely fill the wheel wells and look just like they are the perfect match for the truck!
BUDBUILT Crossmember comming in 2 weeks!!
Then maybe a Brown 1" body lift......

Stock.. 15x7 or 8 (I can not remember.. they are the wide tire package rims, though..
They fit nicely.. a smaller rim will hold the bead a little better and hold the tire a little taller ( I will try to measure the real size once I get my T-bird back.. I have a cloth tape measure in the trunk)

I want!
So you fit 32 x 11.50 R15 with no lift? hmmmm no you've got me thinkin. Where does it rub and how much? I am also curious what offset your wheels have. I was just at the local tire shop pricing and drooling. 550 for new 31 x 10.50

You should address your ?? To Cebby. I believe he has 32's on the stock aluminum rims. He has PP rear springs, and maybe a crank or two on the t-bars. You can mount 31's without any changes at all.
A little tip though..... if you decide on 31's but dont do any really hardcore off-roading (like me) Think about 265/75/ 15's. They are the same height as 31's but quite a bit cheaper. I bought 4 Courser all terrains in that size. Mounted & bal. they were $356.00. If you go hardcore off-road, get the 31's. The side walls are thicker.
