I'm planning on buying some 15" rims and mounting 30" BFGoodrich all-terrains on them. will they fit on my stock 89 ranger without rubbing? I'm planning on getting a liftkit soon, but I really need new tires now. I don't plan on off-roading until I get the lift.

 

I think they will fit but they might rub on sharp turns until you lift it.

 

whats the actual size?

 

i got 31's on my stock 93 ranger no rub ever so i think you will be fine

 

30x9.5

 

you'll be fine

 

ok..... the sears guy says that the tires are too big and he won't put them on. is there anything i can do BESIDES get a body or suspension lift????????????????????

 

30x9 should fit your truck take it to like discount tire they will mount it and check and let you look at it before you buy

 

1st and 2nd gen's have alot more clearness problems then the 3rd gens+, that info doesnt help him at all

 

what are bump stops? I saw some at pep boys the other day and if I do get these tires on will they help prevent rubbing?

 

no...

 

so i got the tires on and they rub

so i got the tires on and they rub. I've decided that since i have no money, that i will just trim the fenders. anyone got any advice on what tools to use?

 

Get some coil spacers. Daystar is a good manufacturer of these. They are cheap too, maybe 30-40 bucks for 1-3/4" spacers. That will level out your ride also. But if you are dead set on trimming, check the exterior forum i posted in your thread there.
