wheels and tires

well i have an opportunity to pick up a practically new set of 32x11.50 bfg at tires. now my question is would i be able to safely fit the tires on my stock wheels and run wheel spacers or would that end up being a waste of my time?

well i have a 4.5 inch lift on the way which would be going on with the new tires, my main concern is running the 15x7 inch stock wheel over say a 15x8 aftermarket wheel?

Running the right spacers would give you the proper amount of backspacing. But if you have considered getting aftermarket rims at all, I'd go that route. By the time you buy QUALITY spacers, you almost could have gotten some aftermarket rims with the proper backspacing.

Here's a great chart from KOR.
