with a 45 profile tire if possible ....

possibly buying a 94 ranger xcab tommorow and i found someone else locally selling some 5 spokes with 255/45/18s for $800 with lugnuts ... said they came off a 99 ranger so hopefully the lug pattern didnt change in 98 when they redid the body.

 

the pattern is the same 5x4.5

 

thanks good to know

still would love some pics that way i know if i should put em on and it will be coo for a while or if i should focus my monetary resources on lowering it then gettin rims later. Im originally a honda guy and always would laugh at people puttin 17s on those at stock height ridin 4x4 status haha

 

The diameter of the 245/45 X 18's will be about .70 inches SMALLER then the stock 225/70 X 15's. So they should fill the wheel-well about the same as stockers, on a stock suspension. The thread width will be a bit wider, but not a problem. Your speedometer will be about 2.5% fast. At 60 MPH INDICATED, your true speed will be about 58.5 MPH.

I've got 235/50 X 18's on mine. Sorry, I had already lowered the truck when I went to 18's.

 

looks awesome ... do you have any full pics of the truck? Those rims are dope too ... i think imma not get the ones i was lookin at and wait till i find some 18s i actually like

i would ask for a parts list for the drop, but as far as i know 97 and earlier rangers have a different front suspension setup

 

Here you go. Stock



and with 2"F/3"R drop with 255/55 X 18's which are 29" tall.





And finally bagged with 235/50 X18"s. These tires are almost exactly the same diameter as stock. Just a bit wider.

With no air in the bags it's about a 4-5"F / 5-6"R drop.

 

thats a really nice white truck!

 

Nice!!

Thanks guys. Don't want to hijack this thread from Melt. But if you're interested.

depends on how much you want to drop it.

3 inch dropped ibeams in the front or you can run 2 inch coils or both together to get a 5 inch drop. Anything more than 2 inches of drop out of a coil you wont be able to align.

The rear is easy a flipkit which puts axle on top of the leafs will net you 5 inches of drop. They also make lowering leafs and what not to.

 

dont worry about hijacking my thread, with a nice *** truck like that youre entitled haha

anyways i definitley want to be able to align ... thanks for the input

 

bump .. ended up getting a 99 b2500 ... drop will come followed by rims, but first imma do the stereo, tint, and get ridda the front plate.

 

have you considered a lift kit and 32's? you own a truck....

 

i own a 2wd 4cyl truck ..... 32s will kill my gas mileage and i dont go offroading much

 

With my 2wd 3.0 I actually get better mileage than stock.
