Need help choosing tires

I have a 2011 2 WD XLT 4.0L, Current stock 15" rims, Monroe Ranchero 5000 shocks.

I have installed a leveling kit with 3" coil spacers in the front and 2" blocks in the back.

I am trying to update the look of my truck.

I am trying to figure out the best size tire to use now to fill the hole. Any help would be happily taken.

Welcome to the forum

Well it kinda depends on what YOU think looks good

YOU probably want larger diameter tires since you did some lifting, which is fine on 15" wheels
But YOU may like more chrome than black so want 17" wheels
Either is fine its only about the looks

The front is where diameter matters most, because the tires turn side to side so get BIGGER as far as the fender opening is concerned, so can rub

Some info and pictures here: https://www.therangerstation.com/tec...eFitment.shtml

It applies up to 2011 rangers, just published in 2007

And just have a look around at Rangers you see in parking lots, tire size is easy to see on the side of the tire

Kind of confused by the chart Ron. I have a 2010 XLT 4x4 with "no lift". Want to put 31s on it, actual tire height 30.5x10.5x15. The middle blue column says OK for 30s 31s, but in the left dark chart it says 2" lift. Do I need a lift or not according to the chart for this tire size? Thanks!

I read it as with 2" lift 30" or 31" are OK, a 4x4 may come with 2" lift, 2WD won't, but you added lift

And this is for FRONT clearance, because those wheels need to turn sideways, rear can often take 31" as is, but you have 2" already added

You might get away with 32"
