Hey guys. I think this is my first post but have been lurking here for a few months since I bought my truck, which is a 2002 Ford Ranger Edge Plus 4x4.
It has 245/75/16 Firestone Destination LEs on it right now which blow as far as off road goes. In South Florida, anywhere we can wheel is guaranteed to be either deep water or pretty muddy.
I am going to be getting some new wheels and tires soon and probably a BL. I already did the torsion bars at 1.75" which leveled it out perfectly.
I love the soft 8s however am confused on backspacing. I believe I want the 3.75 backspacing but not sure. Not sure about offest? or bolt patterns??I want to run either 265s or 33x10.5. I think I'll need a lift with the 33s but will not with the 265s.
Can anyone tell me which Cragar Soft 8s I should get? If the tires stick farther out could I go with the 33s since they are skinny? Thanks.
