Chart of maximum tire size
#151
I have a 2004 Ford Ranger XLT 4.0 4x2, and I am wondering if a set of 2013 Mustang GT California Special wheels will fit on my Ranger without modification.
The specs on the Mustang wheels are P245/45 ZR 19.
The specs on my stock Ranger wheels are 225/70 R 15.
Will the Mustang wheels fit on my Ranger without modification?
Thank you,
-Adam

This thread doesn't address offset/backspacing at all...I'm not confident to buy a new set without a little reassurance.
My needs are simple - 31x10.5-15's on an '04 XLT FX4 Off Road (not Level II). For reference, factory 15x8 wheels for Level II are supposed to have +19mm offset.
Online I can find 0mm, 6mm, -19mm offet in 15x8. I have cranked the torsion bar. Which is the safest offset to use?
Thx
Ron

So with that in mind - you will want the -19mm offset version.
A 15x8 wheel with -19mm offset has a backspacing of 3.75".

I have read this a few times and I know it says on the 2002 ranger 2wd with 33x12.5 I will need to trim with the lift, but what size lift is that based on?
I have a 2002 2wd with a 4" spindle lift and just ordered 33x12.5r15 on a 15x10 wheel. Should I be expecting to trim the valance only, more or less?

Well no updates in here in 2.5 years...
I have a 2011 Sport 4x4. From what I've read the 2010-2011 models have larger rear discs, which could pose an issue for 15" wheels. Does anyone have any info on that?
Also, I've read that the suspension sits a little lower that previous 4x4 models with smaller blocks in the rear and less torsion bar adjustment in the front. With that being said, has anyone with a 2010-2011 thrown some larger tires on theirs with no lift? If so, how big?
I've had two 2002 FX4s. Both of which I threw some 33x12.50 15s on, with only a t-bar crank. Even under flex I only had slight rubbing up front, which a little trim fixed easily.
My current 2011 only has 3.73s so I think I'll stick to 32x11.50s...but just by looking at the truck, it looks iffy.

After reading multiple threads and this thread which was super helpful.
I just switched to 31x10.5r15 yesterday from stock 235x75r15. I went with the Falken Wildpeak A/T3W and so far they ride really good on the highway and streets without much noise. I won't get any off roading on them for a couple weeks. Doing the Mojave road in November so that should give these a good test.
Thanks again for creating this message thread and the tables. They helped a lot.

I have run both 31x10.5r15s and 32x11.5r15's on 15x8 wheels with 3.75" back spacing and I haven't had any rubbing issues.

I have a 1999 4x4 XLT xcab with a leveling kit. I came across a set of nearly new 20in. Xd wheels mounted on 265-50-20 terra grapplers all- terrain tires. I have a set f 1.5 inch spacers that I can use if necessary. Anyone know if I will have rubbing issues? I'm getting a smoking deal on these, I really don't want to pass up on them.

I know this is an old thread, but have you come up with a solution to this Rigger? I'm in the same boat with a 2010 XLT 4x4 stock 15" rims, and I'm about to buy some tires., Can't seem to find pertinent info on largest tire size for these late model rangers with stock settings no lift.

Old thread but new q?
I’m about to pick up 265/75/16 from Costco and today’s tech said they worry about rim width on an upsize from 245/75/16 on a 99 XLT 4x)
ive never seen Rim Width mentioned. Is that a thing to concern? I’m not at all trying to be wreckless. Just want a great looking capable old truck.
they won’t install but they’re willing to look the other way while I trade off in the parking lot.

They are the stock aluminum d slots, 7 inch. I was thinking they will be fine based on this thread: https://www.ranger-forums.com/wheels...ll-work-24385/ someone mentions the fx2 came with 10.5 inch tires on a 7 inch wheel…
where is the max tire chart mentioned in this thread? Is there a link to a file download or something that I am missing?
