Another tire size question

I know this has been beaten to death, but I have a tire size question for anyone who may have specific experience. I have brand new BFGoodrich All Terrains 32x11.5x15 on my full size Bronco. Does anyone know if they will fit an Early luber? I am running a James Duff long arm 3.5 inch suspension, new Duffs body mounts, and a 1/2 inch body lift. My wheels are factory
mid-90's Alcoa style aluminum 10 holes. I want to lift my full size, and am hoping these tires will fit my Early Bronco without causing body damage. The Early Bronco will be mostly street driven, maybe light use at Silver Lake sand dunes. Thanks in advance.

Without backspacing info on the wheels, it's anyone's guess. That said, is there a reason you can't just test the fitment to definitively answer your own question. You have the truck and tires already, so it's not like you're looking at a set on Ebay or CL...maybe I'm missing something.

Is the 1/2" body lift a custom job?
With a total of 4" of lift, your uncut fronts might still rub on the inner fender skirt/apron.
Probably not, but it's still possible. You can run those 32" tires at stock height on even wider wheels as long as you have fender flares, but stock fenders make it a bit more finicky.

As for the rear, like Apogee said, it's going to depend on the wheels almost entirely. You're certainly pushing the comfort zone, but I'm pretty sure there are some people here running 11" wide tires on their LUBR's, so as he said, it might be worth a quick check in your driveway.
Offset is key here.

What type of driving do you do with the EB? That might limit your use of larger tires, if you four-wheel it at all.

Good luck. Let us know how it works out.
I know a lot of people will be curious.

I think 11.5 is too wide. I'm running a 275x70x17 about a 32x10x17 with a 4" BS wheel. They just fit in back with no rubbing. Fronts I put a 1/4 spacer to keep it off the radius arm.
