Hello fellow Ranger aficionados,

First time poster here. I apologize in advance if this question has already been answered.

I recently had the 2019 Ford Ranger 4WD BDS 2" Leveling Kit w/ Shocks installed (opted for the Fox rear shock upgrade).

Now I'm trying to figure out the largest size BFG KO2's I can upgrade to without further modifications (spacers, crash bar, etc) and without rubbing.

I'm currently running stock 265/60r18.

Does anybody know if the 265/70r18 will fit without rubbing (or any other size that would be recommended)?

Thanks in advance!

I’m running 285/70/17 Nitto Ridge Grapplers (roughly same diameter, but 3/4” wider than yours) on 8.5” rims with +25 offset with a 2.5” lift. I had pretty bad rubbing on the front crash bars until I installed the offset FabTech beams.

Edit: On second thought, I’m realizing that my own setup doesn’t match yours enough to make my feedback useful. Haha. I’m sure someone is running that exactly and will get you the info you need.

No worries - your truck is badass! I appreciate the feedback. It seems like the 265/70r18 should be fine although I may opt for the 265/65r18 anyway. I'm kind of trying to keep the stock look while giving it a little bit more edge (without going overboard).

Anyway, here are some pictures I took this morning with the stock 265/60r18 and 2" BDS lift.

I'm thinking of going one size up to the 265/65-18 too. Picking up 1.1" tire height.
Can you please post some pics when and if you get that size?

Just to add add'l complexity to the equation:

I'm also thinking of going with with the 275/65r18 size which is almost 1/2 inch shorter than the 265/70r18 but almost 1/2 inch wider...
