Well without any mods a 32" will be scrubbing.

Tell us more about your truck is it completely stock or have you done suspension/body lift, moved diff forward, well back or tray :?:

as previous guy said, tell us more about your truck. With my old one i had stock diffs, 2.4L diesel motor with 5 speed gear box and i was able to turn 37's (however i only wheeled on them once.... so can give an accurate guide ot how well they really hold up) but when i did take it out it performed fine. however i had ifs rear springs, rears up front (axle forward 3"). it sat approx 4 " over standard

will go fine, i use to have parabolics (about 2-3" lift) and ran 33"x12.5"x15" BFG Muds on the same driveline as i posted above. your drivetrain will stand up to it easy and with the lift u shouldnt scrub at all
