Default how does 32" tires on 16" rims respond?

i am getting the 32" tires on my 16" rims. Will i feel the tires roll on cornering with so much extra sidewall? don't want bigger rims but i wanna try bigger tires. if the sway is bad, i might just get the stock size again.

Are you getting 265/75/16s? If so you will be fine, if you go bigger then that i would start to worry but not with the height but with the width of your wheel vs tire, if your using your stock 16x7 wheel that is

thanks Brandon.i think that tires are the most important purchase on a truck and i think i'm just nervous bout gettin a shitty choice since my old stock tires were so good. But I guess taking risks is also the fun part of Ranger odriving

at stock height you won't notice it much. in sharp turns at speed, like freeway on ramps, you may be able to hear and somewhat feel it, but i was never able to tell a difference with my 32s on 15's before my lift went on.
