wheel spacer or new wheels?

I'm going with a 32X11.50 tire, stock suspension. My stock wheels are 15X7. I was told that I would need a 1/4" spacer to clear the a-arm, and after reading all the posts about floating spacers, I'm pretty much scared to death. Two things then: 1. Has anyone else run stock suspension with a 32? If so, how does it work and how much do I need to cut off the bumper to clear the tire? 2. What wheel is recommended. I'm thinking of upgrading to a 15X8 steel. Ideas on the proper back spacing to clear the 11.50 width?


At some point this will end and I will stop asking questions. For now, thanks for bearing with me and giving good input.

wheel spacers arent the end of the world....

but with that said, tires vary from manufacturer to manufacturer... I'd personally mount them and go from there.
