Biggest tire on a stock Rim with 5.5 BS?
Whats the biggest size Tire you can run on a stock rim with 5.5 BS? I like the look of canyons but would rather just get steeles than have to buy Canyons and Wheels spacers. Id like to run 32x11.50s by the way.
What would I rub on by running 32x11.50s on 5.25 or 5.5 BS?

32x1150's will require spacers or aftermarket wheels with 4" backspacing or less. They will also require 4.5" of lift or some fender trimming. 30x9.5 is about as big as you can go on 5.5" backspacing without major rubbing on the lower control arms.

You seem to know your fair share about XJ's, seen you around. I was wondering with an XJ and a 3" lift could 32"11.5 be kinda shoved in with minimal trimming?

xjfever has a 3inch lift and had 32s on at one point, theirs a pic of it on a thread I started on the same topic. I will be running a similar setup this summer, around 3-3.5 inches and 32s.

I run 32x11.50s on my DD and i have a 4.5" lift on and i rub...then again I haven't trimmed my fenders (got another jeep for playin). If you want to actually be able to wheel you'll have to either trim and bumpstop or get a bigger lift because thats one tight sqeeze
