1998 tire size question

[vthok13s]

Hey guys I have a 1998 ranger XLT x-cab v6 4 liter 4x4, and I am about to order my 3 inch performance accessories body lift. I need to order tires at the same time just to save time and money on shipping. I plan on getting a 15x10 rim with about a -44 ish offset. Would 33x12.5 fit comfortably without the torsion crank or is that a must? I know this might have been covered before but i just wanted a more personal answer to my specific truck instead of piecing other info together.

Thanks in advance

Id say yes. ive seen 2wds with the 3" Bl and they fit 33"s with no issues.
Ive seen other 4wds run 33"s with no issues with the lift ur going for but honestly i dont know if they had the rim size/off set ur going for.

Id say they will fit with no problems, but maybe someone running that specific rim can answer u.

im running the same setup. i had to crank the torsion bars an inch to avoid rubbing while turning. I heard it rub as soon as i backed out of the driveway, so I got right out of the truck and cranked them up.
