You'll most likely have some rubbing with 32"s. My 31" firestones (stock size) have some rubbing on the frame at full lock.

What year/trim level do you have? What do you have on there now?

My 03 SXT had 265/70/R16 with no issues. Those were the stock wheels.

With T/S kit installed I was able to go up to 285/75R16

Just the frame. It's nothing I notice while driving, but there is a shiny spot on the frame form them rubbing at full lock. They're the stock size 31x10.5R15 (equates to 255/80R15 in metric).

Mastercraft is the Private label for COOPER Tires. Just as good, just not as expensive.

I run the Mastercraft Courser AXT and they handle mud and snow decently in MI.
