I'm running 33X10.5's on my 98. I have the spare tucked up under the bed and
it fits just fine. If my 33's fit, your 32's will have no problem.

BTW, you can't run a different sized spare on a 4X4. Well, you could, but
you'd be asking for trouble. If you needed your spare somewhere where you
also need 4 wheel drive, you'll just be begging for driveline bind due to
the different rotation speeds of the 31X32.
