33x12.50x15 on stock 98 ranger

[redneckmustang]

what will i need to do to fit 33x12.50x15 on my ranger. all i have done to it is crank the torsen bars. what rims would be best to use?

Most people reccomend a 15x8 rim with the stock back spacing which is 3.75" i believe but 4" would be fine.

technically with a t bar crank you should be able to fit them... but a 3" BL or suspension lift would help.

yeah a t crank and a huge a** shackle would work but i am a fine believer of all suspension so go for the 4 inch lift..or maybe even a SAS lol

you'll have to max the bars out, you'll have inner fender rub at full left lock no matter what rim you choose, if you've got flares you may rip them off with the tire.

I had 32x11.50's on my truck with cranked bars way back in the day...ripped flares off, ripped valence off, messed up my fenders when out wheeling.



I agree with Original_Ranger84's post.

if your getting rims make sure you get 15x10's they will result in much better tire wear than 15x8's will with a 12.5" wide tire.

For street use only yes, but i hear they have a tendancy to pop off the bead off road and aired down. You can run a 12.50 on a 8 rim just gotta keep a good tire pressure probably like 30 -32psi will ensure even wear.

^^^^NOT from my experiece on 2 trucks both with 12.50 tires on 10 inch rims at only 8 pounds.



running my yota with used wheels and tires and not having money to make it ideal, i was VERY satisfied with the 10" and 12.50 setup. It surprised me. I usually do 8" and 12.50's for the reason you said, bead holding at low pressures. My experience with my old yota made my decision for me on the ranger, even though it's not much of a wheeler anymore.
