285/70/R17 Solved

[ConnorCaissie]

Hello! I am new to the forums and after looking for a answer to a question that had multiple answers,

I drive a 2019 Ford Ranger XLT with the FX4 package.

I have lifted the truck with a 2.5 Rough Country leveling it.
Added 1.5 Inch Bora Spacers

and the 285/70/R17 BFG KO2 Tires fit like a dream. I will be posting pictures as soon as I can!

I'm going to assume you had to chop stuff off too just so you didn't rub at full lock? If not I can tell you are lying because most people have done it with 1/4 inch wheel spacers on stock wheels and no modifications with the exception of a lift or leveling kit

No chopping or rubbing, we tested everything at the warehouse, I will gladly send pics, nothing cut at all.

Stock wheels? +55 offset?

Yes

Believe it when I see it with 1.5" spacers.

I had 2" spacers with same lift height and tire size on factories and no way in hell 0.50" less would have cleared

I have +20 and added 1" spacers...no way this would turn without removing both front/rear bars, front mini FX4 air dams and also had to zip tie the felt liners at the rear to pull them away from making contact...love to know what secret OP used to make this work...

This seem fishy to anyone else? I hope it's true....though I would not use spacers.

Aint no way.

Prior to spacers I did have Toyo OC AT2 285/70/17 on just the 2.5" lift and the clearance was paper thin (slight rubbing at full lock). Once I added 2" spacers it effectively made 55+ a 5+ wheel. Bars came completely out to clear. I mean you would not be able to get full wheel turn or even close to it with the bars in. Then I moved the rubber on to 0+ RTR wheels.

He basically turned his 55+ wheels into 17.5+ wheels with 1.5" spacers.

Maybe by "solved" he means making 3 point turns at every turn he encounters? lol
