I am running a 305/70/16 Micky Thompsonson Baja MTZ on 16" Cragers. This is a picture before the lift. I will say it gave a little squatty appearance, but no realy issues with daily driving or mild off roading.

Discount Tires has several different 16 inch alloys that have a 4.5inch backspace. People run 33's on them without issue...
The reason people are so confused is wide 32's are not a very common tire size.... 285/75/16 or 305/70/16 is probably what you are looking for but those are considered 33's... 32.8 to be exact(probably closer to 32 mounted)... Nitto makes a 285/70/16 which would be a 31.7 inch tire (likely just under 31 mounted) <- this would be the closest to OEM size but not a very common size.

305/70/16s would likely fit your stock ride fine... worst case you might rub a little off road... A leveling kit would sort it out but if you are worried about warranty you could probably get some bump stops to limit up travel and you won't have to worry about rubbing.

285/75/16's with 2" boost. It works for me. Lil bit of rub at full lock before lift.https://www.jk-forum.com/asset.php?f...1&d=1342064774
