lul, i didn't get ride of my emblems. If you do, there are two little holes you have to fill and paint.

What do you mean size from tread to tread??

Dangerranger01 04-19-2011 09:41 PM

oh wait if you mean the tread width of the tires it is 9.6456inches. I have the 245/45/17s on my 17x8in wheels.

Dangerranger01 04-19-2011 09:42 PM

my tire height is 25.6811inches.

Billy's wiht 245/45/18 is going to be 26.6811inches tall

Casper98 04-19-2011 09:44 PM

Ah, i answered the diameter in the post right above yours, looks like right before you posted this comment. lul.

No, they didn't have an XL emblem like the XLTs have. I just have "Ranger" on the fenders.

CBrooks89 04-19-2011 09:52 PM

o...i got the xlt and wanted to remove everything.....the front one...the sides...and the rear

Dangerranger01 04-19-2011 09:53 PM

Ah i see. I think most take a heat gun and a plastic putty knife to get them off. Can anyone confirm this???

I've never worried about it because you have to fill (i.e. weld) the holes left and then primer'n'paint. That is a lot of work. But you might think its worth it.

Casper98 04-19-2011 10:17 PM

A heat gun will get them warm enough to pull off, then re-heat the goop left over and it comes right off. I agree with Grant tho, unless you want to weld fill and repaint, leave them on!

CBrooks89 04-19-2011 10:19 PM

did you take em off your truck billy?
