Here's you answer! ("What tire size on a stock truck?")

[The_Kings_apostle]

This is for the person that is as frustrated as I am.
You have that question: "What is the biggest tire size I can put on my stock ranger?"

THAT MEANS NO LEVELING KIT, LIFT, SPACERS, OR CRASH BAR REMOVAL!

Everytime I read a forum someone posted asking the questions, there are a million people NOT answering the question and saying "WeLl I HaVe a 2.5InCh LeVeLiNg KiT.". THAT'S NOT WHAT I ASKED!!!

ANYWAYS: I bought some wheels and tires and found out myself.

Answer: 32.06 inch tires. (Possibly 33") I have the stock wheels and tires from a 2025 Bronco (unknown trim level)

I DO NOT HAVE A LEVELING KIT, SPACERS, OR A LIFT. I have 255/70 R18 tires (32.06"). My stock tires were 265/65 R17 (30.6")

There is no rubbing with my new tires and there is a gap between them and the crash bars.

The close up pics of the tire is with the wheels turned all the way, to see if it rubs. My wife was holding the steering wheel at full lock.

Nice that these don't rub and don't protrude in any way that looks 'not factory.'

Dropping from 265 to 255 widths - I guess there wasn't a tire with the wider footprint?

Thank you for this! I've read countless threads and was still going to post my own inquiry when i get to tire time! Pics are great!

I have the same size on my truck. It seems to be about a perfect size.

I bought the wheels and tires together from a guy on Facebook marketplace.

I think the word you're looking for is "aftermarket". Lol

If you look at the pictures, there was barely a difference in width between the two. I'm sure you can probably get a 265/75 R17 to fit, too.

I've have same on my ranger.
They are Bronco Outer Banks wheels/tires.

FYI: you need to go into Forscan, and adjust tire size to get accurate speedometer reading. It's probably reading 4-5 mph on high side vs the stock 17inch ranger setup. Check it with a GPS speed site on internet.

I use the speedometer on Google maps anyways. But I do have a Ford Performance tuner that'll let me adjust it. I've noticed that every Ford I've ever driven shows 1 mph faster than the GPS speed. So if you set cruise to 60, you're actually going 59. I've driven many vehicles and this is a Ford thing.
