Wheel & Tire/ Suspension Plans 🛞

[dram32]

Curious on what people are planning on doing, or already have done, with their wheel/tire and suspension setup. I plan on running the Nitto Ridge Grappler 285/70r17 on the stock XLT Fx4 wheels with a 2.5” Rough Country leveling kit to fit the tires.

Brinks Insurgent 20" gloss black wheels with 275/55R20 Pirelli Scorpion AT Plus tires.
Have had them for 4 months now, bought them on Black friday sales online. Test fit them on the 22 Ranger.

Unfortunately, the high positive offset of the RRaptor really limits the available wheel options - specifically, anything from the toyota side will have way more poke than stock.

I got the non-beadlock wheels specifically because I wanted to go aftermarket, but I might wait a while and see if any new options pop up once the trucks are out in the hands of the aftermarket manufacturers.

That combination sounds spectacular. Please post photos when done!

Just picked up truck today, putting ceramic on rims Saturday and then will post. Can’t wait to see it myself.

Any wheel spacers needed to clear the knuckle/upper control arm? Did you need to remove the crash bars? Any rubbing?

Fits without spacers but I’ll be putting some on due to the tire being pretty close to the UCA, only about 1/4” gap. Did not need to remove crash bars and zero rubbing. I also attempted to put the Rough Country 2.5” leveling kit from the previous gen ranger on it before tire install, Americantrucks.com said it would fit, but they did not work out.

Nothing too significant here.
I will get a second set of stock non-beadlocks for a winter wheel set. Tires will be nokian hakkapeliitta in the factory size.
I love the appearance of the factory wheels other than the tuck, but will keep that as I drive quite a bit of gravel and don’t want to pepper the paint.
I will add a leveling spacer to the front, but am waiting for the arb summit bumper and 35gal gas tank first to determine how much is needed.

I'm in the boring camp. When my AT tires wear out, I'll replace them with a street tire. I'm not planning any suspension mods.

I do, however, enjoy seeing what other people do with their trucks, so keep the pictures coming.

The superlift 2.5 inch leveling kit is what some ford dealers use.
Here's a video for reference.

Wow, didn't know those would fit on the stock wheels. Now I'm kind of kicking myself for buying new rims. We need to make a list of what works, what works with what mods, and what just plain doesn't work.
