-19 offset on 31 2WD?

[kryant24]

Ive been looking through these threads and cant find anything conclusive.. im looking at some scale 4x4 wheels 15x8 with -19 offset.. im on stock coils and want to put 31s along with these wheels.. has anybody had issues with rubbing with this setup? I want that aggressive poke that most people put on their rangers

Most people definitely don't have aggressive poke. Mabey those who wanna look "cool"... But... That level of 'StanceBoi' is undeniably hard on components, makes the vehicle less capable, it's hell on paint, AND it's gonna make girls giggle at you in all the wrong ways lol.

Regardless.. -19 won't get you there, as that offset equates to 3.75" of backspace on that width wheel. Stock ranger wheels generally have 4.5" backspacing.

I have 8" wheels with 3.5" of backspacing on my 96 and the outer lip of the wheel is pretty much exactly flush with the lip of the fenders.

Whats your definition of aggressive? If you want the wheel an inch outside the fender you're gonna need to buy a set with -40ish offset.. 2 inches out would require nearly -65. Consider the SECTION width of your tires as well.. if your tires have a section width of 10".. that'll make the middle of your sidewall hang out past the lip of the wheel by 1".

Yea like .5-1 inch maximum passed the fender, i dont want it to look crazy.. im on stock height (coil suspension) and the lift wont be for a while.. my main concern with -19 is will it rub.. i have 31x10.50r15 on factory wheels (i think its a +12 offset) with 0 rubbing .. so from your experience -19 will not have any poke? Maybe flush? .. srry for the noob questions i just got my ranger a year ago bro lol... these are the ones im looking basically same wheel just different label

Ah alright. That's not too aggressive IMO.

I somewhat regularly see a giant lifted super doody driving around that has HALF OF ITS TREAD outside the fender.. and a big ol Dodge that LITERALLY HAS A GAP between the INSIDE of the tire and the body I really don't know how the dodge can navigate through parking lots and shit with that fitment.. his scrub radius is yuuuuge.. i gotta imagine those tires rub harder than a whole county's worth of oriental massage parlors.. there's no way they can't lol.

What your after is tasteful and won't be too hard on suspension components.

You wanna look for some wheels that have -25 to -30 offset though (3.5"-3.25ish" backspacing).. with the 10.5 tires that'll give you a tasteful amount of poke that shouldnt get you pulled over or give you troubles getting an inspection sticker (if applicable)


What year is the truck? I had 30s on my 2010 2wd with no issues.. 31s may have rubbed if the suspension was really compressed with the wheel turned but.. you should be alright.

I have a lift you can have for the cost of shipping if you want it. It's been sitting around gathering dust since I sold the truck. 1" spring spacers for the front, 1" shackles, and new camber bolts.
