Biggest Tires without any mods

I have a stock 2006 Ranger Sport 2x4 and was wondering what the largest tire size that will fit without any mods. It currently has 235 75 15's. Will 265 75 15's fit without doing any modifications.

235 75/R15 is a 29" tire
265 75/R15 is a 30.5" tire

Read here: https://www.ranger-forums.com/wheels...re-size-20047/

From what I see it will be close, 30" will not rub, 31" will

Pretty sure you have a torsion bar suspension being you have a sport. If that is true 31s would be no problem what so ever.

^this. You can even step up to a 32 (or 265/75/16) if you wish


Although, I seem to remember that only applying to ext. cab/4.0 sports, and reg cabs came with the coil spring front end. But that could be a lie. Haha.

Im pretty sure sports replaced the edge so no sport should have anything less than the 3.0. I would think damn near all of them have torsion bar.
