Hey Everyone,

I've got my first ranger with 6" lift and I want to put on 35"x10" LTB Swampers (yes, I plan to trim).

I'm still learning Rangers but I want to make sure these dont rub on tight turning. I've always had Jeeps and the Control arms would rub a lot without spacers. I've been reading through a ton of threads on backspacking and rims sizes but can;t find anything that fits my specific needs so hoping to get some straight forward help here.

1993 Ford Ranger XLT
3.0 V6
4x4

What size wheel would you recommend? 8"? 9"? It's a pretty skinny tire...

Any backspacking required for such a thin tire? Again, the goal is not to rub on tight turns in the woods. Would stock work by any chance?

This may be a dumb question but I've found conflicting info.... Whats the bolt pattern lol. 5x4.5 or 5x5.5 (Stock 10 bolt rear)

Any other issues I should be aware of?

Thank you!

35" tires with a 3.0 ?

I hope you have 4.56 or 5.14 gears in it.

Rangers have the 5x4.5 bolt pattern, you need to watch the center hole, a couple different sizes.

How about backspacing for a 35x10?
