Eibach hub centric wheel spacer or dick cepek rims

[An3]

I have 01 ranger xlt I have 31's on stock rims that are 15x7 I'm getting some rubbing issues should I go with dick cepek 15x10 rims or the eibach hub centric wheel spacer Will either fix the rubbing issues

So your gonna go wider rims and tires to solve rubbing issue? Just lift the front a bit, 2wd has alot of options. Going wider will only cause more rubbing. What size tire? Mines 265/75/16 which is 31.6 tall. No rubbing and my torsion bars are seized on a really low setting..

31x10.5x15....So why am I getting this rubbing it's driving me nuts

Because 2wd rangers aren't meant to run 31's stock. Get some t-bar keys then you can clear 31's easy.

I thought 2wd rangers were all coils. They have torsion bars too? I thought torsion bars just solved the whole coils in the way of axle on 4wd's...And of course ease of adjustment for plowing...

I have coils

God if your torsion bars crank those biatches...

Now I'm really confused here somebody wanna chime in here and clear all this up and explain to me why am I getting these rubbing issues and should I go with the 15x10 rim or the spacer

I thought 98+ 2wd had t bars??? If not I'm sure you can get coil spacers.

 

[bilzy7]

Going with a wider rim, your made for 7 inch wide tires will have to go. You'll need new tires, new rims, and your rubbing will be worse, I mean it's wider....
Second to cure your rubbing, just get a small lift. Check out 2wd suspension section for ideas. You can get lift spindles, a whole kit, or possibly just some coil spacers. I believe the spindles won't mess with your stock ride.

I knew it had coils, but I was like what torsion bars so I second guessed myself...

 

[bilzy7]

And wheel spacers will put extra stress on bearings...

Only the Edge 2wd's had torsion bars, every other one was coils
