new rims for a new ride!

ForOffRoadDriving · Aug 16, 2008

so i just got a good deal on a set of cragar soft 8's that are 15x8 and im wondering if i get a set of BFG ATs that are 30x9.5 if they will A.) fit my wheels and not look rediculous and B.) clear my fenders and not rub my radius arms. the truck is a 1994 ranger extended cab, 2wd with stock suspension. it does have new coil springs,shocks, pivot bushings, and radius arm bushings so the front end is fresh and sitting where it was originally intended to sit. i also have new leaf springs and shocks in the back but im not as worried about clearance here. any one have any input? :dunno:

they will fit the wheels, but IMO i dont like how a 30 9.50 looks on a 15x8, its a little wide but i wouldnt say it looks ridiculous. as far as rubbing i think you will be fine, maybe a little at full lock depending on the offset of the wheels.

ok thanks, i thought they would probably fit without touching the fenders themselves, but i wasnt sure about at full lock. i was tossing around the idea of putting on a body lift, but they wanted 189.99 for a 2" from performance accesories so i think i'll either use a hockey puck between my new bushing set and the cab or use 2" round tube and weld washers on the ends and use them to space the body up a little. im capable of making them fit, i just dont know how bad im willing to rig this otherwise perfect truck just to achieve larger tires? :dntknw:
