Has anyone else had to deal with this??

ive got an 87 2wd ranger and im having a trouble with tire size. i want to put my 15x10's on there but they rub way too bad.. is it because the tires are 275/60's? or does anyone know?

Its the rubber. You should be running a tad smaller tire. Factory would be something like 205-215/75r15. You can run up to about a 235/75r15 before you need to start lifting, cutting, etc...

Fwiw i run 265/70r16s on my f250 any bigger and i'd have to lift, cut, etc...

All you have to do is trim the wheel well lip on your truck to fit those tires. I've had 10;s on the back of mine and fit great. You must have the wrong backspacing to not fit 275 60. the pic below is my newest wheel setup 15x8 with a 295 65's on it.
