wheel/tire forum says they "may" require trimming.

anyone doin this? the tires I've got on now are ~29" and seem to have at least an inch on either side, but I just wanna make sure before I order em.

btw cragar wheels (4" backspacing)

 

I had 31x10.5x15's on my stock height 98 2wd Regular cab, without any problem at all. Now... 32's would definitely be pushing it.

 

I run 31x10.5 and I rubber only when cranked to the max and backing up. Forward they run fine.

 

awesome

thanks guys

 

Different make but mine clear, no problem at all even when
up inside the fender. They have never rubbed.

 

mine rub at full lock but thats it. i like'em

 

i have 31" bf's 10.50R15 on my truck

 

i ran 31x10.50x15's on my 2000 2wd ranger stock no rub at all the tires were bfg a/t's to be exact and it gave my ranger a realy good look for a 2wd 32's are pushing it

 

had mine on stock they were great!

 

i run 31x12.5's stock and have no rub

 

Mine fit perfect, plus extra room still. I also have an Edge.

 

what is the worst thing that can happen if they rub?

 

If you hit a bump hard you could break the inner fender well plastic......that's about it...LOL

 

i have 31s but i could clear 35s. lol. i dont think they would have fit in my truck stock honesty. its not an edge

 

so whats stopping me from just cutting all of that junk out before i tear it out? lol

 

do a body lift, cheap and not too bad with a buddy or two, or lift blocks in the rear and coil spring spacers up front if your coil sprung.

 

if you tear out the inner fender wells, the wireing is vulnerable to rubbing on the tires=huge PITA. in the works of trying to rewire my buddys s-10 b/c the guys before him thought it'd be a good idea to remove the fender well since the tire was rubbing on it (lowered truck) fun trying to put it back together.

 

it's a good way to fill your engine compartment with mud and slush too

 

pretty much if you want bigger tires and not have problems later on get a body lift and do it right. when you take cheap short cuts on you daily driver its not a good thing. just save a little money its worth it

 

i was talking to my friends dad, about doing a body lift, and he said that doing a suspension lift is a lot better, but more expensive, VS. doing a body lift. whats the difference?

and for the body lift, for the bed, he said that he had friends take the bed off, and put hockey pucks in to act as a spacer, how good will this hold up?

i trust him on this cause hes a full blown master mechanic... so im thinking of doing the hockey puck idea.

 

i've heard hockey pucks dry rot too quick. suspension would be the best thing to do. If you don't do that at least get a real body lift

 

just buy a $200 BL and be done with it. Comes with spacers for the bed, also comes with supports for the bed to so it has the same strength as before. This should be able to net you a good gap for the tires and take care of any rubbing issues.

 

use those plastic boat roller things. thats what my dad used to do on all his full size trucks. im sure it will work for a ranger. you just then need longer bolts.

 

i just bought 31" bfg km2 tires for my 2002 ford ranger edge super cab 2wd stock ride height and i have no problems so far just if i turn the wheel all the way it might rub but other than that theirs no problem i love them already.

 

can you run 31's on the stock ranger 15 rim?
