New guy with probably same ole tired questions.

My truck now.

What I want it to look like.


I don’t really want to to do any lift kits body lift etc.
So I’m thinking 32-10.5 tires and 8x15” rims with 3.75 offset. Think the tires on the example pictures are 33x12.5. Not sure I can go with 33’s without lifting. But you guys are the experts. Any advice? Do’s or don’ts? Yes, will fix bumper one day....

Had lots of fun shopping for tires and rims. Then realized I’m poor. Went hunting on Craigslist. Found almost what I wanted. 31/10.5/8 instead of 32’s. Matte instead of polished. But can’t see spending more than half of what truck cost for tires and rims. Pocket happy, mama happy, everyone happy.

yes, will fix the bumper one day......

One little tidbit I forgot to mention. In doing research on the tires and rims, I read in a thread on this site that some Jeep rims fit the Ranger and B series. Made it a lot easier to search out used rims. Tons listed for Jeep. Not a lot for my truck.

Looks very nice. I had 31/10.5 -15's on my 2wd 98 (no lift), and it worked, but the tires rubbed ever-so-slightly on the inner fender when I was fully turned. How about yours; any rubbing?

Also, can you link to the thread on Jeep rims fitting Rangers? Would be interested in reading that over.

No rubbing on full turn or rough terrain. Well as rough as I get, drainage ditches, etc.

Cant point you to exact thread. I just searched bolt pattern and read several of the results.
