Hey fellas I have a 98 Ranger 4x4 that came with 235/70/16 tires. I
have a chance to pick up 4 new 245/75/16 for a really good price. Will
these tire work on my Ranger? I would like to know before I purchase
them and find out they won?t fit.

Thanks,
Erick

Is your rig lifted or stock?? cause the tires your talking about are
like an inch and a half taller and about half inch wider!

These are the about the biggest tire you can put on this vehicle with no
Rubbing at all. I have the same vehicle that you do and have run 245/75/16
for years now.

Ford even started to put this size tire on their 1999 Ranger 4X4 models.
There were no lifts or changes to the vehicle.
