Confirmation on 285/70/R17 and 17x8.5 0mm Setup

[MJA1876]

Howdy,

Looking to confirm that Nitto Ridge Grappler 285/70/R17's and 17x8.5 0mm offset wheels will fit my Ranger.

I have the Rough Country 2.5" Level Kit installed, and based on research, some ReadyLIFT High-Clearance Anti-Intrusion Beams on order.

Any help is appreciated, my Ranger is my first experience with truck. Having been with cars for a while, going from perfect tire to fender fitment to trying to get the fender as far away from the tire as possible is all foreign to me. I believe I've exhausted the forum in terms of research, and again, any help is appreciated!

Hi Matthew! Welcome and sweet truck! Yes, that wheel and tire combo will fit - I have the same set up but with KO2s. The high clearance beams will also clear with some potential rubbing at full crank. The beams can be a PIA to remove and install - my brother-in-law and I had to unbolt the front bumper to remove the old beams and do some light sanding on the ReadyLIFT beams (welds and paint were too thick) to get them to fit.

Thanks! Exactly what I needed to hear. Appreciate the heads up on the ReadyLIFT kit as well, it always sucks when you expect it to take 30 minutes and that turns into 4 hours (ask me how I know). I'll have to look up some installation videos on the ReadyLIFT beams, just to get those on before the wheels and tires come in.

Now to decide between silver and bronze...

Rough Country 3.5 and I am running 285/75, sometimes I still hear it rub on the little plastic flap under the bumper, not enough to bother me LOL

Of course! Ya, definitely give yourself more time than you think. Remove the wheels for easier access into that area for the beams - the extra time doing this will save some frustration.

My 2 cents - bronze (but I biased…lol)

Zero offset will poke the tires about an inch outside your arches, fuck your paint and make your steering vague. But yes, they'll fit.

You'd be better off with a +25 offset or stock wheels and one inch spacers.
