Ok everyone.

Post up picks of your stock or lowered 2wd's with non-stock tire sizes. Indicate the tire size, rim size, backspacing (if you know it), and how much drop you have if you're lowered.

Lets build a reference to help out others trying to figure out what size wheel/tire they can fit.

Thanks! :icon_thumby:
Very smart, Jim. Choosing the right wheels and tires is maybe the most economical way to upgrade your truck.

Mine is a 2003 Ranger 2WD Edge. I lowered it by one inch for improved handling, easy loading and unloading, also so my wife could get in and out more easily. I bought 15" Pro Comp wheels, Tires are Cooper Discoverer AT3 (all terrain) 265/70/R15 or in inches: 29.6/10.4/R15

Changed rims this Xmas. 15x10 AR Torq-Thrust rims with 3.77" backspacing. Tire choice this time was 275/60/15 BFG T/A tire. I'm on stock suspension, no rub at any point so far. Love the ride, very smooth. I've always wanted a set of T/A tire, such a classic look and even did the white letter out. Damn what ever happen to cheap tires anymore, tires where more than the rims!!!! Still like the set, great 55th Bday present to myself.

Edit..Crazy how that pvc pipe mounted on the wall makes it look like I got a huge L" shaped scratch on my passenger truck bed. I saw that and had to go look....

I agree, only thing I had a little trouble with was deciding between 275/60 or 295/50. Either was cool with me, I choose 295/50R15. Thanks

I know this is an old thread, but did you use any spacers on these wheels? If so, what size to push them out? It looks like those are 17x7.5 +37.5mm offset. That wheel and tire size looks perfect for a slightly lowered daily driver.
