hey everyone...i was wondering whats the biggest tires that i can get on my stock 99 ranger?15'' rims...im liking the Kumho road ventures mt kl71 they look nice. any suggestions on type of tires and size? thanks

 

I've got those tires and like them a lot. As far as size, i'm not sure. i've got 31x10.50x15 on my 2002 FX4 but probably could have gone with 32x11.50x15 with cranking the t-bars a little bit. When you buy the tires, price them at discounttires.com or treadepot.com and take the ad into discount tire and they will match the price. i got mine for $670 out the door at discount tire that way.

You could go with a 32x11.5 or a 33x10.5 if you have torsion bars, 31x10.5 if your coil sprung. Might be a little rubbing though.

 

your user profile nor in this thread you didnt list if you are 4x4 or 2wd? its important

 

on a 4wd truck with a tbar crank and after market wheels you can run 33/12.50s

 

He has a 1999 2wd so that doesn't apply.

 

Jasons (chevyslaver) has an 00 with a mild crank and 33/12.50s and doesnt rub. but explain why trent. teach me something new lol the more we all learn the better

 

i have seen 35x12.5 on a stock suspension!! you should go for that!

 

What size is a 285/75r16? In inches? Is that a 32 or 33 in tire?

 

38s... with some minor fender trimming. LR

 

lol ya right

 

lol 32 sounds good to me..but whats "cranking the t-bars"?? and its all stock suspension..im going to be changing it soon, im thinking max-air shock absorbers for the rear cuz i carry alot of weight and trailer ect..i dont know how much higher the truck will sit after i install that and some new shocks for the frount the truck as 155,000 miles on it but just got a used motor with 50k on it..i guess ill have to wait till i get the air shocks..dose anyone recommend any other type of suspension that will lift that truck some and be able to handle weight? thanks for all the responds very help full!!!

 

well i went to a 4x4 store and they told me the biggest i could go with was a 28....unless i wanted to take a jig saw and start cutting my fenders and all kinds of stuff that i shouldn't go bigger than a 28.. so ill be doing the 235/75R15 tire!

 

no way. you can go bigger then 28's i got 31's on my truck stock. they only rub when i hit a ditch in full wheel lock in reverse

 

DId they fit good? could you post a picture? im trying to find some for mine that are meaty and big.

I just put 31x10.5 BFG KO2's on my stock 2011 2wd, 2 door Ranger. They fit perfect. No rubbing even at full turn. My Ranger has no lift, and the stock tires where way to small. If ya got a 2011 Ranger, you will love this. I have a 2.3L and notice no drop in power, and it rides so smooth now. 93k and still running strong like the day it came off the lot. Still has the stock 15x7 inch rims. Ford should have done this at the factory, I bet they would have sold a lot more of these 2wd if they looked like this. I am original owner, and it will only be for sale after I die!!! LOL



Here it is with BFG 31x10.5 KO's. Stock 15x7 rims. Still got some room, and no rubbing at all even on full turn.

 

I've got a similar question for a different year Ranger, though:

I have a 1993 2wd Ranger and my door sticker calls for P195 / 70 R 14 SL tires. I am currently running P215 / 75 R 15 tires on that same car. I am having issues with my suspension, and I will probably have to replace it. I am not sure, if the suspension is stock right now. Would I be able to replace with stock springs and shocks or would I have to choose some sort of lifting springs/shock assembly to accommodate the larger tires?

Thanks!

 

Looks pretty stock to me. You should just be able to use stock parts as a replacement.

 

Thanks a bunch! That makes everything a lot easier... The clearance is great for the little off-roading I do, so I will most likely just keep everything stock. Didn't want to go back to the stock tires, though!

 

Looks like you have alot of room in stock form. I would just get new shocks, and whatever is worn out, and get bigger rubber. 31x10.5 are they way to go!!

 

 

This looks great! Exactly the info I'm looking for. I wonder how it would look with a body lift?

 

I was able to fit a set of 305/40R22’s on my Ranger. It wasn’t used for anything but a daily driver and the wheels were for show but they measured at 31” tall and 12” wide. Important to add I had 1.25 spacers, and a set of coil boosters and adjusted my front bumper
