How wide can We Go

As you guys and gals might know ive got a 3" body lift t-bars cranked and AALs in the rear..

for some reason i dont think id be able to run 35s so as of that..

im mounted on a 15x10 wheel..with 33x12.50 tires..

now here is the question for the thread..will a 13.50 tire fit with the lift i have now..i know i probably wont be able to have a full lock when i turn cuz id rub but is that the only thing..i will be keepin the same size tire but just gettin an 1" wider but keepin the 15x10s

it will fit on your wheel., but it will be too wide to turn with your ranger.........about the widest tire you can run is the 12.5 or you will get rubbing while turning......

my 12.5 on my 33's are about .5 - 1inch from the valance...and pretty close on the inside...so i would have to say no on the 13.5

good question. Grants(G'sevo) truck has the trxus M/T's and there mounted mesurement on his truck is 13" wide even tho the tires are 33x12.5x15, always heard interco runs big. now he has problems with both valance and fenderflare(which you dont have) we had to trim a good amount even with a t-bar crank. i think it might be close and would have to max your t-bars and trim a little on the front valance..then it would work

i know that 35x12.5x15 will fit on a ranger with a bl, aal and tbar maxed out but there will be lots of rubbing in many different areas during suspension travel ect... ask ranger1 since thats what he had till he put his rcd on

see the thing is he is asking about 13.5 and 15x10 rims and Ben has 15x8. so really its close but not really
