Redneckstone 01-02-2006 11:18 PM

guys come on he is a 2wd non-edge truck to go on the save side run 30x9.5x15. but i do beleave you can put a 31x10.5x15 with out major problems

karrbass4life 01-03-2006 12:34 AM

I would save up and buy some rims those things aren't all that. :puke:

SilverBulletXLT 01-03-2006 07:52 AM

30x9.5 will rub on stockers if you're turning the wheel in reverse, and sometimes on really sharp turns. If you're trying to run big tires, ya gotta get used to rubbing or get some rims with better backspacing. Stocks are 4.5" I think, I'm going with 3.75" on my next set o rims..

a 235/75-15 would be a nice upgrade (slightly smaller then a 30)

RanJerEDGE 01-03-2006 01:53 PM

If you want to get some new wheels, im selling my stock edge plus wheels.. :biggthump

haha sorry... :bandit:

I know some people get 33x10.5 on stock 4x4 with no rubbing I would think 31x10.5 would work for him

thats a 4x4...the hight is completely different there ben! the two suspentions arnt even the same at all in the front!!

SilverBulletXLT 01-03-2006 03:02 PM

Here's an idea of how an XLT sits on 30x9.5s. They rub on the fender splash guard on pretty much any sharp turn. 31s will fit, but they're wider and you've gotta take off the mudflaps. I took mine off long ago, I think they trap more mud than they prevent!

dang, lookin at that pic I feel like a nut for trying to stick 33s under there.. I guess we'll see!

SilverBulletXLT 01-03-2006 08:27 PM

yeah, that's what happens when you wheel out in texas. the dang rednecks leave their beer cans everywhere!

034x4 01-03-2006 08:56 PM

Well I have 3.5" backspacing and if I turn too sharp, my 38's rub the leaf springs.

Pinecone 01-03-2006 08:58 PM

I think 30's are a safe bet. No way he can run anything bigger really.

034x4 01-03-2006 09:00 PM

So i wouldn't run 38's silverbullet. Don't wanna rub those leaf springs

ok i dont want to sound like a doushe but really i own a 2wd truck a low XLT like yours with 30" tires on it there isnt much "off-roading" you will be doing maybe the ocational trail or dirt road and romp though a feild crap but really i would know i have one. and mine is taller and on 32's. i would say stick with the bfg a/t its a good all around tire

That would be a good choice, they will be cheap in that size for sure.

I wouldn't say that. I go off-roading all the time.. I get shown up by a 2wd 84 ranger on stock suspension w/ a 4banger. Don't try to knock people from doing what they wanna do, rangers are pretty capable offroad. Not like rubi's, but plenty for him to go wheeling around like he wants. Check out a spring creek thread, lots of us are 2wd with 30" or smaller tires..

034x4 01-03-2006 09:58 PM

Rubi's suck. I'd rather have my ranger over a "rubi" anyday.
