Yes, if you look at the manufacturers recommendations, it should be 15x8-15x10. Click on my build thread in my signature. This is the exact combination that I'm running. A 32x11.5 is the smallest offroad tire you can have on a 10 inch wide rim. I heard you can stretch a 31x10.5 to fit, but it isn't recommended.

I wouldn't do it just because of the way it makes the tire look.

I lied. A 32x11.5 isn't the smallest you can fit on 10" wide rim. There are few companies, such as Interco, that make weird sizes like 31x11.5 and stuff like that. I bet there is some weird metric sizes out there that'll fit on a 10" rim, but I haven't the desire to find out. Bottom line, yes they'll fit

if you're running off-pavement you might want a narrower wheel, like an 8", so you don't chew up the edge of the wheels or your sidewalls on rocks. narrower wheel will also hold the bead better should you wish to air down. on-pavement narrower wheel will let sidewall protect you from those pesky curbs

essentially though, the answer is YES a 32 will fit on a 10" wheel. looks are always subjective to the person though, so IMO...

I can't argue with you guys. You have a right to your own opinions. I can definitely see how it wouldb't be great for offroad use. There is still enough tire sticking out to protect from curbs. I guess it is all in the angle you hit it, though. There are tires that have the rim protectors (BFG All-Terrain and Kelly Safari TSR come to mind). You guys do have to admit that the wide rims with less backspacing looks good though

I have 31x10.50 on a 10" rim. Had them on a suburban and put about 20,000 miles on them with no issue. Now I have them on my stock 4runner with no issues. I don't rock crawl but I have dropped the pressure down to 15psi when riding on the beach. Have not had a bead break yet.

God, that thing is tagged? I hope he doesn't drive that on the street! Those are definitely not 10" wide rims. That has to be like a 33x12.5 stretched onto a 14" or 15" wide rim. I have to admit, THAT looks weird, however a 32x11.5 on a 10" rim isn't nearly as ridiculous as that

I do like the 3rd gen 2wd grill on that 2nd gen pickup. It looks good and it's different.

That looks SOOO odd. Also looks like they are up at Norfolk, just above Keolu Hills. Flipped my first 4runner up there. The lesson that day was not to back a stock 4runner down a hillside without a spotter to watch for deep ruts. Ouch !
