i just got some 32x11.5 tires and am going to put them on my stock rims, but it looks like the tires are going to hit the springs when wheels are turned, any ideas!

adjust the stops until the tires dont hit the springs. thats it. makes your turning circle bigger, thats all.

There are little bolts on the backside of the calipers. These are to adjust the amount of travel your wheels have through the motion of steering. Adjusting them out or installing longer bolts will keep the wheels from turning as far but will also prevent you from being able to turn as sharply. Not the end of the world, but something to consider. Also, look at the rear tires vs springs. You should clear them, but it may be quite close.

I adjusted mine because my 31's rubbed the front left leaf spring. It didn't take much and I never even noticed an increase in the turning radius although there probably was a slight increase. It's nothing to be afraid of, you're not screwing with the steering, just limiting how far the tires turn. It your only option, and it sure beats the tires rubbing the leaf springs. I only tolerated it for about a week before I fixed it.

You could try some spacers. I have seen them in summit and jegs.
