but I,ve been using 33x12.5 Swampers !! LUV them !!
but considering next .....
JT 2 Simex , either the 33x10.5 or the 33x11.5 !!
OR
the Silverstone M117 ( I think ??
) 33x12.5 !!

You don't need a SPOA to run a 32" tyre. If you must run a SPOA, t least shoot for a tyre in the 34" range to make it worthwhile the hassle.
In addition, simex's are VERY stiff, and you will be wishing for beadlocks plenty soon.
I Luuurve Swampers, and there are plenty of other Vic Zook club members who love swampers too.

I had SPOA 2" body and 32" muddies and it was perfect, tyres didnt touch at all
Having said that 30"x 12.5 Boggers ?
or 35" swampers

Have a go at grooving the swampers, and see how they go, they might be a little wide but try it anyway!
If they dont work, it doesn't matter, just look at somthing about the same height but narrower....
Just investigate your springover dude.....(search here and read it all!!)

If they're not touching they're too small....
Anyway, spoa=5" of lift, +2" body lift- 7" of lift to run a 32? no wonder they didn't touch!
A 31 fits stock with a 2" body lift. so a 32 would fit "perfect" with a 2" body lift and a 0.5" bumpstop spacer. Thats seems like a whole lot of lift.
