31's with plenty of room.....crank the torsion bars, and you can get 32's.....some will tell you 33's....but i would want some room to flex the tires....

I would say go with 32's. 33's are nice but give no room to flex hard unless you trim, wait for a lift!

32s can fubar your fenders a lil too if you flex hard. I did it in the rear and was able to just bend it back and get my flare to stay on. But I do reccommend the 32s they just make it seem bigger.

I have 31's and they fit fine, I think I could get 32 maybe 33s in it, but they would rub a little

guys just saying to him.. get 32's or 31's doesnt help BEING we have 100% no clue what size rim he has being he never told us... specific is nice sometimes like 265x75x16 or 31x10.5x15....being the way this guys posted i will go out on a limb and say he doesnt know just what 32's mean...i could be wrong...but its not good to assume...

EDIT::::::: did a tad bit of searching in this case cause i am bored...

YO NATHAN-- listen up here man little helpful info...first make a signature stating the stats of your truck go to USERCP top left corner of the tool bar its in there...

next..if that is a REAL pic of YOUR truck in your profile i see you have the older EDGE plus style 15's

what i would recommed being i made that stupid chart no one reads is a 32x11.5x15 tire being it will fill the wheel wells nicely not rub still look bigger then what you have and hell even make the truck ride better. YOU can run a 31x10.5x15 tire that is what comes stock on a level II ranger with no problems but IMO its a dinky pansy tire its playing it on the safe side like wearing a motorcycle helmet to baseball practice. where 32x11.5x15 is just going to the game and playing with your lucky mit. now there is the good old 33x12.5x15...it will fit with almost all the Torsion bars maxed and some triming on the front valance and fender flares if you have them, with flex it will rub more. its kinda like playing baseball with already dranken 5 beers and holding 2 how in hell you gonna catch the ball... get the point...man i have been nice today just ask the other guys i never help this much anymore with tire sizes your lucky fella...

ok btw here is a pic of a member your rims(being if that of pic your turck is real or not) with 32x11.5x15: (btw you shouldnt need to crank the Torsion bars but it would be nice to do it like atleast 2 times to level that bad boy out...)
