I have a 2020 FX4 Ranger, no lift, all stock. My question with all of the fitment issues, would this size clear my crash bars?
Or will I have further mods coming in the near future with this tire set up. I just want to go a little bigger and narrower with the stock wheels.
Any body try this combo on a stock Ranger?

32's will not rub on crash bars. I didn't have rubbing issues until I made it to 35's.

Three things to consider - diameter, width, and wheel offset. Those seem skinny enough to work with the larger diameter.

Stay with your OEM wheels and you should be fine. Move to lower offset wheels and it might be a different story.

I've got them on a 2" level so they definitely fit in my case, but there is a ton of space on all sides at full lock in either direction. They would definitely fit at the stock ride height. Gained a little over an inch of ground clearance when fully inflated. Highly recommended.

People are rubbing because they are getting significantly wider tires or widening the stance so much that the tires are pushed into the frame/crash bars when turning. Using the OEM wheels and keeping the width at or less than stock will avoid this problem.

Note this topic is incredibly nuanced and may be untrue for certain tire designs. But generally speaking, a 255/75r17 all terrain will fit a stock Ranger.

Your good on stock rims. Anything sized above that, well....
I have a 2.5 lift and true 32" tires but anything bigger.

You were correct. Tires worked great until I traded it. Felt like they should have been the stock size IMO.

Highly recommend that size for on road use trucks for sure.
