Those look really good also, I'm really fond of tires that fill the wheel well a lot.
I put the 2.5" leveling kit on my truck, I've just been trying to find a good fitting tire setup that I at least don't have to, uh bent the core support lol

My truck is lowered 2.5/5” if you’re lifting it you won’t have those problems.

Gotcha, so you think I could fit 285/65/ *17* without having to modify too much stuff?
If those would work at stock height with the crash bars in place; I'd like the extra width when the LE3s are toast. I'd be surprised if it does based on how much room I have at full lock with the 10.4 inch wide tire vs 11.2 inches. I might or am likely wrong.. I didn't get a measuring tape out to check clearance. You might have zero problems. I just made sure I was good when i turned the wheel all the way. The internet was right about zero issues with the 265/70R17s.

But... I just spent most of the day outside and don't want to touch a black truck that is probably close to the surface of the sun in temp. It hasn't moved today. Might break out a ruler, tape, or pictures tomorrow.

Yeah, everyone does that.
Okay, you're the first person I've seen put that big of a tire on these Rangers so I just wanted to make sure, wasn't wanting to go to the tire shop and have them try out like 3 different size tires lol, thanks buddy

Yeah I'm looking some something bigger than 265/70, if I can stuff 285/65/17s under it without major cutting or bending I'm going to. to be honest your reply only halfway made sense to ,me lol

Half my posts are broken up into bits before I hit post. I should just wait until I get on the computer at night. I have a fleet.. herd.. flock of kids.. what is the right word for 8 of them? So yeah. I get asked a question or get a request for help about every 45 seconds. This post was in two parts for the same reason.

I went into HR because I run HR at home. My kids just act better than the adults at the other job.

I need to add a disclaimer to the signature about this instead of talking crap about Chrysler..

You will need to clearance for them regardless but being lifted is a bit different than lowered.

yeah defiantly, if you are lowered and fit that size I don't really see me having a problem since I'm up 2.5"

It won’t just fit though, the wheels will dictate how much you have to clearance.
I understand that, but what I meant was just that I won't have to modify as much as you did with your truck lowered.

So what/how much did you have to cut, bend and remove?
because I don't think anyone can get a more perfect look, this is the size I'm gonna cram on my tuck from just seeing yours lol
Nice, I like it when the wheel fits the wheel well :like:
