My rim size?

[Snoranger]

How can that work?

How do you put a 15 inch tire or a 14 inch rim ?

You need to ask Ford… I didn’t write the Oasis report. All I did was post it.

Send more pics of camper please.

It all makes sense except what are you saying about little fronts and big rears? Are you saying some people run different tires front/back?

I hate it when there are errors in the info, because it makes you wonder, are there other errors, since you only find them if there's a hiccup somewhere. I just assume, there was 1 error, that's all, we found it.

I was referring to the spare mounting location.

Mounting on the front can restrict airflow to the radiator.

I had a New Holland it must have had that adjustment for vastly different tire sizes it had 4x4.

Some fancy awd European cars come with different size wheels front to rear. Old buddy of mine had a BMW that had an inch smaller wheel in the front. BMW just fitted shorter sidewall tires in the rear that had the same O.D

Yes. It was more popular with hot rods back in the 50's - 70's. But some still do it. That's a "2wd only" kind of thing unless you gear the differentials properly for it. Some farm tractors and construction equipment is geared that way.

Like this?

the delorean had different size tires on back vs front from factory.

That was an optical illusion because the front and rear were in different time periods. Kind of an optical dopler effect. DeLoreans are special in many ways.

Ranger could run different rim widths and different tires front/back as long as the outside diameter of the tires is the same.
Not sure why you'd want to, though, unless it was a street rod type mod. On a normal truck I think it'd look inappropriate, not to mention the problems with rotating them.
If they were also directional (which we don't see in a/t tires, but probably you do in street tires) you could not rotate any of them because each would be specific to a wheel.

My previous truck had 205/70R15 front and 30x9.50R15 rear for quite awhile. It was 2wd though. Made for some serious rake.

Any pics?

Since my '88 4wd has dual tanks Ford elected to place the spare upright in the bed in the left front corner. Doesn't block view, easy access, stays clean, easy to keep inflated. Did secure it with cable & lock thru mounting bracket. Biggest tire that will fit is 235x75x15 so when I occasionally run 31s I know if I have a rear flat (lsd) I might have to put spare on front, move front 31 to rear flat. Hasn't happened in 20 years, not worth a worry.

Not a good one. It's the shiny truck in this picture.

It's not that noticeable from that angle. But it was enough that the seats leaned wrong way. LOL
