Just bought a 2024 Ranger XLT with FX4 and curious about tire size upgrades

[Ranger XLT Fan]

I think by this you mean “Is there a dedicated spot here on Ranger6G for people to sell OE takeoffs”, and the answer is ‘not really’.

You could of course list them in the wheels & tires section of the marketplace forum:

https://www.ranger6g.com/forum/forums/wheels-tires.33/​

But for all intents and purposes, you'd be selling water to a well.

Shipping tires is indeed incredibly onerous, and nobody wants used tires enough to pay for that. List them on Facebook Marketplace and/or Craigslist, and expect offers in the $10̸0̸ range for the set. Like you saw on Discount's website, the OE Goodyears aren't exactly worth their weight in gold.

Thanks for the info. Like I said, I'm a newbie and full of stupid questions.

I have a 2024 Ranger 4x4, 2.7 ecoboost, FX4 package that came with 255/70R17 Goodyears like yours on the factory FX4 wheels. I swapped them for Toyo Open Country R/T’s in the 275/70R17 size keeping the factory wheels and suspension. I have many miles of off road use with excellent traction, increased ground clearance and no visible rubbing.

So I'm having a bit of trouble fitting new tires due to the width, see here: https://www.ranger6g.com/forum/threads/bigger-tires-no-lift-no-rub-thoughts.17633/post-339176

I just had the tire shop test fit 255/75R17s on the same wheels as yours (same truck except 2025), and the tire was 1/8" from the suspension. Your tires are 0.7" wider, so I'm wondering what clearance you have to the suspension?

When I was first doing a test fit with the Toyos, the shop fitted a steel spacer between the hub and wheel, maybe 3/8th to 1/2 inch thick. This gave extra space between the tire and front knuckle, but it pushed the wheel and tire out past the fender too far for my liking. I ended up forgoing the spacers and while there is minimal clearance, I have not encountered any rubbing after 9,000 miles now. Here are photos showing the clearance which is about 1/8 to 1/4 inch.
