Upgrading my tires and looking for guidance!

[Sillyguy96]

Hey everyone! I recently received my 2020 Ford Ranger in Sept. I'm looking to get a 3" leveling kit and up grade the tires to 275/70R18. I'm unsure if I'll need spacers or if any other work is needing.
Thanks for any info!

I have 265/70R18 with the Ford Engineering Fox 2.0 kit. I actually do rub just a tiny bit but not on the crash bars but on the frame rails on whatever tire is turned so the rear of the tire is close to the frame. The crash bars are REAL close. I suspect you will need a small spacer, say 1/2 inch or so with the slightly wider tires and aftermarket crash bars, the BDS ones seem to be the cheapest that I have seen so far at just under $80.

OEM is : 265x60R18 offset 55mm

So only 1/2 taller.

As you did not state the wheels to be used (OEM 18" or after market with no OEM offset), with the OEM 18" wheels, I would guess the 1/2" will not matter. I have 18" OEM wheels with Blizzak winter tires of 275x60R18s no problem...

I went with 275/55R20 offset 25mm Fuel 20x9, no lift (all OEM) but had to do the crash bar mod but still on a hard turn slight rubbing...

This is very helpful thank you! My plan was to use Falken Wildpeak A/T3W with the OEM wheels. Just trying to figure out the perfect size for me! ?
