hey all, new here i have a 06 ranger sport ex. cab 4 door 4x4 black and i want new wheels and tires when i get back from iraq. i was thinking round about 33x12.5 goodyear MT on a 16x8 mickey tompson classic lock with t-bar crank what u think?

 

why a t bar crank? just get you a 3 inch body lift. its cheap and doesn't wear out your ball joints as fast. and instead of a 16x8 i would suggest a 15x10 or if your set on 16's get a 16x10

 

well i dont think i have room to run 15's on the 06 and i posted a bl question too if any one had any problems during install or down the road. but i was just trying to get a opinion on that combo to c what people thought

 

you have plenty of room to run 15's. if you say you can't run 15's why would you run 16's?

 

sorry to not explain but i dont think there is enough room between the inside of the wheel and the brakes to go smaller

 

why not? i run 33x12.50 BFG all terrians on a 15x10 baja rim with a 3 inch body life and i have no problems what so ever.

 

Yeah I run a 15x8 just fine as well. Just make sure to get the proper backspacing.

 

ya but he wants to run a 12.50 tire i don't think hes going to like the outcome of how it looks.

 

Its the same thing as a 15x10 tho, the 15x10 will just be out 2 more inches. Just get proper backspacing and you'll be fine.

 

you do the body lift your self? easy? brake lines ok and steering? u like goodyear mt or bf mt better? thanks for your help too

 

yes i did it myself it is easy if your mechinally inclined. if you get it from performance accessories then everything you need comes with it. even instructions. i like the bfgs better but thats me its all in what you want.

 

kool thanks for all ya'lls help ill post pic after i get back from iraq ill prob b here with more questions too thanks again

 

ya the front suspension has NOT changed sense late 2003.. and there is hundreds of guys on this site running 15" rims hell level II rangers come stock with 15x7 alcoa rims...
