Just finished the 4” lift on my 94 ranger. I’ve got 31” KO2s on it now. I’m looking to put some 33”s on it, I have my eye on a set of KM3s. With the wheel locked I have a pretty minimal amount of space before rubbing will occur.
I should probably pick up a set of 15” x 8” wheels with less backspacing and offset than my oem deer hooves.
So, the debate I am having is! Does one go with some 33” x 12.5” or 33” x 10.5” KM3s. The ranger probably looks better with a thinner tire. However I’m not bigly concerned with the “looks” as much as I am with not getting stuck in some craphole in the California desert. I am merely concerned with rubbing.
An aftermarket wheel with 3.75” backspace and -19mm offset at 8” wide compared to my factory wheel basically puts me in the same spot I currently am, a 12inch wide tire seems like it will rub.
Maybe I’m being overly cautious, I hope some folks out in ranger land have some thoughts on this!
