Can I run 32" tires?
I know this is a noob question and has beeen asked before. but i searched for this and i could not find an answer. i found a good deal on a set of tires/rims and i want to know if i can fit em on my truck. here are some pics of the truck. the tires on the truck right now are 30x9.50, the ones i found are 32x11.50.

yea id go with it. what motor do you have? i just putt 31s on my 4runner and i have the 2.7L 22-RE and those 31's bogged it down at high speeds a bit. it does fine getting up to 60 but from there to 70 and up its sluggish. thats the only thing i would worry about, you can fit them but you might have trouble turning them. if you do go with them a few things you can do to get your motor to turn them better is do a cold air intake, long tube header, and a new muffler. that only costs about $250 and you will notice a definite increase in power.

Yes...I think you could even go up to a 33". Just don't go wider. You did search?....I remember looking it up back in the winter and there are tons of threads. Give it a try again...but in the meantime go get your 32's!

On a solid front axle truck, 31x10.50 is about all you can fit w/o a lift w/ stock wheels. Tires will rub at the rear of the front wheel well, because unlike on an IFS truck, the front axle moves backward as the springs compress due to the front spring shackles swinging backwards. Some trimming/flattening of the standing seam can help, but you may need to add a longer front spring shackle (1"-2") or a body lift (1"-2") to gain some clearance if needed. In back, they will fit OK, although they may rub on the frame if you have good axle articulation. Fixes include less backspaced wheels or wheel spacers.
Here is my '85 4Runner w/ 33x9.50 tires and 3.5" of lift, tires rub even straight ahead:
