Default Putting 30x9.5x15 tires on???

Looking to put 30x9.5x15 tires on my ranger.(in signature)
Im going to also put a 2 inch body lift on with them.
Will i be able to fit these tires withought needing spacers
or anything else to make them fit. Also how much would it hurt my mpg.
I currently am riding tiny 26s. Im going to stick with my 3.73 gears aswell
is that ok??? Also any pics of rangers on same tire deminsions are apprciated.

I run stock 3.73 gears in my 04 with a 3.0 and I run 235/75-15 which is like a 28 inch tire without rubbing and and it really don't affect my gas milage there's videos on YouTube of people running all the way to a 31/10.50-15 on stock suspension an gears so you would be able to run a 30 no problem that's actually what I want to put on mine next

I have a set of 30x9.5 Grabber ATs for sale.

Had them on my stock suspension 2WD coil spring ranger, fit perfectly and didn't require trimming or rub on anything, but decided to install a lift and 33s so now they're just laying around

Are you gonna run stock or aftermarket wheels? Either way you should be fine. I was running 31x10.50 on aftermarket wheels with my 97 b2300 stock and had no rub at all. I had 3.73 and I did swap to 4.10 and the 4.10 is an overall better ratio for the 2.3 auto and the size of the tires.

I ran 31x10.5s for about three months on 3.73 gears before swapping to 4.10s. It rode good and the only time I would barely notice it was trying gain speed uphill... I probably would have never switched, but my gears were worn when I popped open my diff.
