what wheel and tire is this?

Hello guys,
I just got a 2009 Ranger XL with 34k miles. 2x4 manual transmission. I saw the truck in the picture below and I fell in love with the tire/wheel combo, and I was wondering if you guys could help me figure out the brand/size? any lift?
Also adding another quick question, could it be a problem if I ran that set with my truck? rubbing or too large of a tire for my drivetrain?

Thanks!

They look like the factory cheapo steel rims that come on almost all the base model rangers, just painted black. Same ones on my truck.... they just look better in black.

grab a set from the junkyard and give am a paintjob. Probably cost you less than 50 bucks. As for the tires, they are Cooper discovery radial LT's lol.

Thanks bud!
I was hoping for actual tire size, I do see that they are indeed the stock 15" wheels painted black. Do you know anything as far as a possible lift?

seein as the truck in the picture is a stock 4x4 id guess those tires are right around a 31x10.50r15

If your Ranger is an unlifted 2WD, the 31's will rub ... a lot. The truck in the picture is 4WD and has a taller factory suspension that will accommodate the 31's.

Increased tire diameter has the same effect as a numerically lower axle ratio and would negatively affect acceleration. Also, using 31's on a 2WD that came with smaller diameter factory tires will introduce significant speedometer error.
