Being a child of the 70's..... I think a set of these on the back only would look great. It would give the illusion of bigger tires in the back... but you could still rotate all the tires.

And you wouldn't have any clearance issues or the possibility of road rash on the rockers from the front tires sticking out.

Crazy?

No regrets here, and nothing noticeable regarding the turning radius.

How would spacers affect the turning radius?
Positive?
Negative?

I think he’s meaning whether or not you can turn the wheel as far without rubbing.

while researching pro's and con's of spacers I read they could effect the turning radius...… I'm no engineer I was just asking because of what I read and I like the Ranger being so much easier to park than my F150 was

I'm no engineer either.... but I am curious (and hopeful!) as I just received my 1" BORA spacers.

I'm running BFG K02 LT 275/70R17 on the stock sport wheels. I have the 3" ReadyLift Level in the front and have had no rubbing/clearance issues to date.

I wanted the 1" spacers to move the tires out for a more "aggressive-looking" stance.

I hope after the install there are no rubbing/clearance issues? I should get the install done in the next week or two and will report back.
