Don't see too many 32" tires these days. I'd say go for it based on that alone. But yeah realistically, 31s fit my stock suspension no problem with room to spare, 33s fit with TONS of extra room with the 2" lift. I bet 32s would be fine stock, and would look awesome. Always go bigger if they both work the same

My 2wd had 31s when i bought it and fit great even with saggy front springs. Garuntee theyll fit a stick 4wd stance

lol lookin' at 33's now. Might be too much "beef cake" for me though without the lift. Hate to get 'em and have to spend more on this n that instead of the guns, boat stuff, body work n such that I would have got.

I have to ask, why has it been parked for 5+ years?
Looks like my k5, or at least how it started life. Black, black topper with sliding windows and red houndstooth.

It's actually been off the road for longer than that. The 350 that's under the hood had a habit of eating camshafts. 3 of them actually. I was slowly building a mild 454 for it, but that engine recently got donated to another project. I miss driving it, so I'm on the lookout for just a stock gen 6 big block to drop in and go.

I hear you. I haven't had my k5 in 8 weeks. Been in paint and body. I can't imagine as long as you.

So I went with the Mastercraft AXT2's in 32x11.5/15. I don't know if it was because the 31's were worn (still had tread) or what, but damn these things grip the wet roads. I only get worried when I see a deep puddle on the interstate doing 80. Turning left/right on wet pavement....I really have to make it spin loose unlike the 31's.

After my UPS shipment (223 wylde upper lol) gets here, I'll run out and take a few pics. I really like how it seems to fill the fender wells better also. The truck was only raised 1/2", but I can tell the difference when getting in.

Still got this to measure from fender to ground at center of hub? Hoping I'll get lucky with the new monroe coil overs and have clearance. Front's are wearing out so I'm trying to prep for new tires....32's or 33's?

Yep. If you want to, shoot me a text about 8 tomorrow morning so I remember to measure it. Otherwise it'll be dark when I get home after work.
