So my 93 Ranger (4.0 V6 extended 2wd) needs some new tires. She came stock with the 225/70/14. I've purchased some 15" ranger rims, and am looking to get some nice AT's. Now apparently every tire shop around here refuses to install anything but stock sizes, because after referring to their little super book he told me that the 215/75/15 is the only ones they can install. Apparently the 30/9.50/15 and/or 235/75/15 are "way too large" and wouldn't work. All my research and conversations with other ranger owners gave me a different impression. Any way being that I will be going to a larger wheel (up & down and side to side, and I know that a 225/70/14 to a 215/75/15 isn't a large jump at all) should I be concerned with any rub? They certainly went out of their way to convince me of that.. If I did end up purchasing a spacer, how big would I want to go? Just the 1'' to compensate for the 1" wider rims?
Any input would be appreciated. Thanks.
