I read somewhere that a 12.5 tire won't work on a 4.75 BS wheel on a ranger because it will rub something. Is that true? Oh, and the wheels are a 17x9 if that makes a difference.

 

4.75 is pretty sucked in...believe thats the stock wheel backspace....but....the rub issues depend on suspension/bodylift set up as well as wheel backspace...


give us something to work with.

 

Well I plan on 3" BL with the 17's got-dirty has for sale. For tires I was thinking something around a 285/70R17.

 

I think it would work without scrubbing, but then again my stock 31" scrubbed on my alcoas.

 

Isn't stock BS like 4.5 or 4.0 or something like that? I gotta check my receipt for my rims. I got the stock offset I think on those, and they are sucked in too much in the rear.

 

I thought stock is 4.0 or 4.25.

 

If I'm right most factory rims are spaced at 4.5 (thats what mine are anyways). The alcoas are spaced at 4 inches, (correct me if I'm wrong).

 

ya but the rims are 17x9 so they will stick out more.....right now i have 18x9's with 5.5 back space wrapped with 285/60/r18 and they dont rub when i turn and they stick out 1 inch farther than stock wheels and 1/2 an inch farther than alcoas so they dont look that bad....ill probably get 1 inch wheel spacers in the future.

 

Yeah but how wide are they? are they 8's or 10's?

 

Stock BS is 4.5. I have 16x8's on the truck with stock backspacing and they stick out a lil further than the stock wheels. I don't know if its an inch or not.

 

So then I guess I'll be buying the wheels soon!
