what tire size should i run w/ this...
wheel...
measures in at 16x9
I'm currently lifted w/ camburg 2.5" c/o's w/ upper a arms and deaver spring pack in the rear w/ 5100's
I want to go to a metric 32" what's your recommended tire size? Do i go w/ 265/75/16? or can i go wider since it's a 9" wide wheel?
TIA

It's not the wheel that will keep you from going wider, it's the fenders. I and a lot of members here have 285/75/16 tires on the stock 16x7 wheels without any problems. But we all deal with the tires rubbing to some extent. The wider the tire and the farther out the wheel sticks (due to rim backspacing, rim width, longer a arms, etc.) the more rubbing you are going to have to deal with.

so i guess what i'm getting at is can i get away w/ running a 16x9 setup?

Yes. There is nothing stopping you from running a 16x9 rim. With a 2.5" lift you can run 285/75/16 tires (33x11.5x16). Make sure that the backspacing on the rims is between 4.5" and 4.25". The most common configuration is 285/75/16 tires on 16x8 rims. As the rim gets wider there is less force holding the bead on the rim at low tire pressures. Still there are some that are running 16x10 rims.

I was just saying that that is the biggest tire you can run without having major rubbing issues. You can certainly run 265/75/16 tires. I'm just not aware of a wider 32" tire for a 16" rim.
