Hey! I am trying to find out what is the largest size tire I can install on my '24 Ranger Lariat 18" factory wheels without removing the crash bar or cutting things in the fender wells

Online it says I can go from 255/65R18 to a 275/65R18 but this is only about 1/2 inch taller and 3/4" wider. Seems like it's not worth the money for such a small increase. Can I go bigger without modifying things?? TIA

I am running 285/70R18 with a 2.5" level and have zero rubbing issues.
I have not been off road yet though.

1.5" level with 265/70r18s on Bronco takeoffs (18 x 7.5, +55 offsets same as OEM Ranger).

Are you satisfied with the 1.5 level do you still have a rake in the truck? That level seems to be very safe as far as front end wear.

Absolutely. I wanted to retain some rake (have 3/4”) for loads and future towing. Also wanted to make sure it didn’t look squatted.

@AUME1996 What 1.5 level kit did you use? I'm thinking that's about all I want as well, I'd prefer to have a little rake, yours looks just right.

your truck looks very nice. ?? question… do you have any pics showing poke with the setup you have? I was dead set against my Lariat wheels but they’ve grown on me lol. I’m seriously considering your tire size with level kit in a set of Nokian Outposts 265/70-18’s… would appreciate it. I don’t want crazy poke. Cheers.
