tire fitment question?

[ford1386]

I have a 6" skyjacker class 1 suspension lift with factory coil spacers and a 3" Performance Accessories body lift on my '94 extended cab 4x4 ranger with a 4.0L in it, what would be the biggest tire i could fit that would not rub in full turns and with no fender trimming. I've seen guys who have 37's on with a 6" lift and a 3" body lift but according to National Tire and Wheel their fitment chart says i can go bigger with 11" of lift? Most tire shops wont let you mount the tires just to see if they fit first.

You can probably fit 37's with that setup, but I wouldn't go bigger than 35's with the stock ranger axles.

yea so you think if i re-gear i'll b ok i dont do any offroding just street driving i was thinking about going to a 4.88 or a 5.13 to run 37's. my stock gear is a 3.27 and im running 31's and its slower than my previous ranger with a 3.73 and 33's so i want to go a little lower to give me more turning power and hopefully a little better gas mileage if thats possible. im getting 15 mpg now.

if u really wanna runa tire that size id run some 38.5" ground hawgs, ull get the best mileage with them, and they wear like iron, and ur gonna want ATLEAST 5.13 for those tires....

ull fit 38.5 hawgs, hawgs always run small

Tires around 37" will likely rub on untrimmed fenders when flexed, but if it's staying on the street, that might not be an issue.

Definitely go all the way on the gears (5.13).

my stock gear is a 3.27 and im running 31's and its slower than my previous ranger with a 3.73 and 33's .

my ranger has 3.73's in it and i wanted to know how fast i would go with 33's on it
how fast could you get?
and i have a 2.3l 140hp...

my ranger had a 4.0 L and 3.73 gears and i could light up the tires from a dead stop and do burnouts, this thing i have now with 3.27's is slow
