15s or 16s???
im gonna do a 32" tire if i go 15... but im thinking about 16 also since theres more choice of rims. Will 16 rims and 32 tires rub on stock height? Will be adding a 3" bl soon. ?

Crank the t-bars and you will be fine.
16" tires are generally 100-150 dollars more then 15"

Re: 15s or 16s???
I just went down to 15x8 from 16x7. STL's right - tires and wheels were not much more than just tires for the 16s.

Re: 15s or 16s???
I think i said this on a thread the other day lol but if your are getting new wheels go with the 15 its more economical all around IMO I would only invest in 16" tires if your already have 16" wheels. FYI: I have 16's (Stock) with 32's (285/75/16) and have no problems rubbing (T Bars leveled)

16s and 32s will work fine, and look better IMHO but as everyone else has pointed out you pay dearly for that extra inch.

Re: 15s or 16s???
And this is why I wish Ford had made more appealing wheels in the 15" size. The only rims I like on 1998+ Rangers are 16".

Re: 15s or 16s???
The way I look at it. It's all personal opinion. It all depends on your taste and wallet. 16" tired are more expensive, but I think 16" wheels look best on a ranger. However if I was running a truck that see's more offroad then street action I'd be on a 15" wheel without a doubt.
