The dimensions depend on the individual piece of luggage. Each airline operating the flight(s) has its own designated dimensions for baggage.

32" luggage is usually slightly over the 62" total (H+W+L) for most US airlines. But you are more likely to get in trouble with the weight. Packing a 32" luggage full will probably go over the 50 lb limit. I have 29" and often get close or over 50lb.

Agreed 32 is going to get you into trouble on weight unless you leave it half empty (in which case what's the point). I have a Briggs and Riley 27 inch. It's a very good size (used it for 1-2 week travel with only a bit of laundry needed) and when packed full is typically around 45 pounds (assuming I'm not transporting any heavy liquid like wine bottles).
