Tire / rim question
Currently have 2003 ranger xl with crappy steel wheels and 235/75/15s tires. Time is comeing close for new tires and was wanting to upgrade my rims as well.Im looking for a set of 16 "stock rims from a 2003 and newer ranger.
my question is 1) whats the biggest set of tires i could fit on these 16" oe rims with stock suspension 2)do i need to worry about offsets if i put on these 16" rims off another ranger or is the off set the same? 3)how bad will the bigger tires/rims throw off my speedometer?
Also may be looking into a leveling /lift kit in near future only 3-5 inches so thinking the 16s with maybe 235+/85/16s look good on that lift?

Some guys run a 31" tire with no problems so whatever the metric equivalant of that is
The 16" Ranger wheels will bolt right up, no problem.
Bigger tires will throw your speedo off a little bit, with my 32s its off only a few up to about 60 where its off 4 than 70 where its off 5, etc.
235/85s will be really skinny, if you like that look go for it but I like a wider tire personally.

I would go 265/75/16 personally. You might be able to fit a 285 tire but you'll have to max the bars and it might rub.
TO OP:
what size of motor do you have? 2.5, 3.0, 4.0?
What is your gearing?
If I were you, I would find some cheap 15" OE rims, or a set of cheap black steelies. You have a bigger tire selection, and it will be a whole lot cheaper.
