I have 30s and haven't chopped anything. The rear tyres rub a little but it is only a tiny rub, hardly takes the dirt off. The front rubs a little on my bumper however if I trimmed 5mm off it it would be fine.

To run 32" Simex MP Trekkers, I had to push my firewall back an inch, install 50mm bump stop extenders (using rear bump stops on the front mind you), and push the rear of the front body mount bracket forward. Running castor corrected arms, which were meant to be longer, but aren't, so I found out recently.
edit: Oh, that's with 50mm body lift as well.

You have 32s and stock gearing  must be horrible to drive No body lift, haven't found the limit of travel yet so bumpstops are stock. 4" ORA lift with ORA arms. No sway bar.

I did have an auto case when I put the 32's on. It failed so I put the 29's back on. And I'm not running a 1.3L so its not as bad as it would otherwise be.

this is a pic from JayKay's jimny viewtopic.php?f=4&t=5770&start=630 I think the trick from what I have seen is to get some castor corrected arms, that not only would correct caster but it would push your axle forward

No room for any flex there.

To get to the bump stops on 30s you will need to trim the guards.

Sure did ARB Bar touched the outer Edge of the Tyre. 2 Things played part. my Front Pan hard needed re-adjusting because the axle was slightly to one side and the ARB bar needs a slight chop. The tread only got damaged on the drivers side Once my Bar is chopped, I am going to extend the rear bump stops because there's a slight rub in the rear too
