What tires are these?

I found the exact look and size wheels/tires I want but at a slightly different ride height.
Can anyone help me figure out what size wheels/tires are on this truck? Or a good guess?




This is actually closer to the look i'm wanting

Looks like 17" wheels, but could be 16"
10" width

Tire sizes are pretty straight forward if you know what the numbers mean
First number is the width in millimeters, so 254mm = 10 inch width

Number after the "/" is the aspect ratio of the sidewall, as a percentage
So 254/65 would mean the SIDEWALL width of this tire is 65% of 254mm, which is 165mm which is 6.4 inches of sidewall around rim

R = Radial tire
and 17 would be the wheel(rim) size it fits

So 254/65 R17, would be WRONG for that pictured tire, lol
And there are no 254's as far as I know, 255 and 265 are popular

It is a lower profile tire, shorter sidewalls, so 255/45 or 255/50 or 255/55 maybe
In the pictures the sidewalls look to be about 50% of width, your call

From the pictures you choose you seem to want the lower profile, so wheel size matters as that will either lower or lift the ride height of vehicle

So measure your current tires height, or look it up
And decide if you want it lower or higher

Then just do the math, 17" wheel plus 5" sidewall(x 2) = 27" tall tire

After some digging around I found out that the silver ranger has 295/50r15s on it. I think the wheels were described as "15x10 procomp soft 8s". I have no clue what spacing I would use for a 92 2wd.

I've decided to go the other direction and put 30" tires on it.
