After market rims and tires on my 96 1500
I just recently bought my 96 1500 4x4. It has American Racing rims on it (not sure of size/width) along with BF Goodrich 32x11.50r15 tires. The tire says max psi cold 50lbs and door jamb also says the same but that's for OEM tire setup. I filled mine to 45lbs and noticed that the left rear tire beads inner/outer were exceding past the rim by a 1/4 inch. I took the tire off the truck, deflated it, broke the bead and tried to reseat the tire on the rim but to no avail...same result. I went to Pep Boys this morning, explained to the tech my issue. He put it on the tire machine and came back and that it's normal, that "sometimes" based on "certain" tires, they will extend past/over the rim. Said not to worry about it.
Visually describing it...it looks like the tire is either too big for the rim or the rim is too small (which is not the case b/c all the other rims/tires look exactly how a tire is supposed to be seated. I'll attach a picture so that you can see what I mean...
Your thoughts?

I bet you have all terrains and if you look closely at the tire you have an issue with, it says all terrain KO.
