It would probably be 31's which is something like 265/75 in a 16" rim

265/75/16 is almost a 32 inch tire. You can git a 285/75/16 with minor rubbing in the front.

235/75 is about a 28. that's stock and what i had with my 15's, but so is 245 which is about a 30. that's what comes with 16's. fx4's come with 31's. i'm running 265's and i have no rubbing problems. 285's will fit, but there might be rubbing issues at full turn or big bumps. There was an edge posted with 35's on stock suspension with bigger bump stops.

I dont think 31's will rub, atleast not in the back but the front your could use coil spacers pre 98 or torque the bars on a 98 +

265/75/16 is a 31 i thought. I run 265/75/15 on my 2wd xlt.

On a 4x4, 31s won't rub. A 285/75 16 will need a slight amount of trimming, and removal of the front flaps, but it is totally doable. A 33x10.5 R15 will also fit without much rubbing (once again, removal of the front flaps should cure it).

So your saying I can get 33 inch tires on my 98 ranger? stock no lift? or what im confused!

ANd by flaps you mean mud flaps right?

Once again in plain english: On 98+ 4x4 Rangers, you can fit 33x10.50s with little to no rubbing
285/75r16 with minor rubbing
31x10.50 or 265/75r16 with no rubbing

You have got to be kidding right?

How wide can then be?

Would it be smart to torque the bars in the front? and maybe add a leaf in the rear?

if I coulds get 33 right now that would ****en be the ****!!!!!!

You can fit them as long as it's 10.5" wide... you can search www.offroadrangers.com/forum for more info, a few people have this setup on the board.

Actually the Splash was a model from '93-'97. Yours isn't technically a splash, but a 4x4 with the flareside bed, which became an independant option in '98.

I think you might be incorect because...the vin even had the splash in it because it came up in an insurance problem I just had
