New tires (275/70/18) on my BAP edition Ranger FX4 on 2" inch level lift

[Lord Vader]

25 Ranger fx4
2in ford ranger level
275/70r18
No wheel spacers
No rub
Came out just right.

NICE! Any chance of that size tire fitting a stock height Ranger with a 1" spacer or 30mm offset wheels. I don't want to raise the front too much if at all because I tow heavy sometimes. I'll do 1.5" max if I have to.

This thread got me looking into size comparisons. My stock tires are 255/65R 18 on your pictured stock Ford rims. Those rims are 7.5” wide. There are wider tires possible on those rims with 275/60R 18.

Thanks for this post. I am trying to decide between 265/70r18 or 275/70r18 on factory wheels and this is not helping

When in doubt, go bigger. At least that’s what my wife told me when she married me.

I’m running 275/70r18s. So, I get dog shit MPGs because of where I live. Traffic is terrible and my city loves putting traffic lights every 100 yards. Even when I get on the freeway I sit in stop and go traffic. So, I’m getting about 15.7 right now. I was getting 16.3 or so before the tires. But I only had it for a few days before upgrading the tires.

the psi is at what the factory recommendation is. I don’t remember what that is. I’m not having any uses with clearance, but I have a set of 3/8 spacers sitting in the garage that will be going on it this weekend. I would rather have the extra space. You should be totally fine with 265s.

California gas formulation hurts your mpg's also, I get significantly better mpg's with my GTI in other states.
