2021 XLT FX4 Tires

[MotoXR]

I have a 2021 XLT FX4. Can anyone tell me what the largest size tire is I can run without running into rubbing issues? I have put the Bilstein 5100 shocks that leveled it out in the front. I was also thinking of putting 1-1/2" spacers. Thanks.

There are lots of threads in the tire section on this, but I think 265 is as big as most people go.

Spacing wheels out with spacers will increase your rubbing opportunities. Spacers are a No-No from certain points of view.

Tires aren't always exactly what they say they are, so a search of Ranger5g and research of the Manufacturer's specs will yield your best results.

Someone will likely chime in with crash bar alternatives as that increases your size options. ReadyLift crash bars go with a 275/70-17 or maybe 285 depending on the tire. 285 tends to hit the mpg's pretty good from what I have seen others say.

Also a Tremor might be a good reference to use as comparison in you do not want to mod or cut too much of your truck up.

Thank you for all your input. I will take it all into consideration.

I think 1 inch spacers are a better fit..
